Study course description
Preliminary Knowledge:
All biology disciplines of the secondary school programme.
Objective:
To provide an opportunity of gaining knowledge and understanding of the anatomy of the human body, paying more attention to the peripheral nervous system, the structure of the passive and active movement apparatus, especially the muscles performing fine motor movements.
