Question
Chapter 33, Problem 3CCQ
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The evidence that supports the principle of biology with the structure and function of the nervous system
Introduction:
The principle of biology suggests that the different parts of the living organism work together to make the system work normally. A problem in any of the body parts will affect the functioning of other body parts to a great deal.
