Cellular and General Physiology
Block I — Cellular and General Physiology
How it begins
La célula es la unidad fundamental de la vida. Todos los procesos fisiológicos del organismo humano — desde la contracción muscular hasta la secreción hormonal — tienen su origen en eventos moleculares que ocurren dentro y entre células. La fisiología celular estudia cómo cada tipo celular mantiene su homeostasis interna y se comunica con el entorno para coordinar la función tisular y orgánica.
