This is the last of three courses on Human Anatomy
The topics are related to central nervous system, nerves and endocrine system.
The course will be organized following a taxonomic order, due to the localization of these systems in all entire body. To follow the course will help the student to operate a synthesis of all anatomical information for a complete analysis of several organs.
"ex catedra" lectures with the help of audiovisive instruments
