[bionet.general] PHysiology

Hi! I've just started working in the physiology area, with a background
in Maths and Physics. I'm looking for some guide as to the best
places to look for information on the autonomic nervous system, (that
being the main area I'm interested in) and, also, on image analysis.

           Hi Clare,
       Having   maths and physics as a background, perhaps it will be best to
study bio-physics for you. (easier of course..
       For starting,
       i can recommend the following general way;
1. Learn about basic biology and (especially) cell
2. (I have to emphasize here the knowledge of the cell, in basic terms though
3. learn the organization (or so to say ) the anatomy of systema nervosum centr
& perif. (now you see, latin terminology is coming into scene.. just have an
idea about it..
4. Of course, bio-chemistry of the living creatures, perhaps in basic terms, al
so shall be needed, i think..
5.  By the time you will have your way, anyway...
6.  About books:  there are plenty of them, more than you need at yourlibraries
7. ONe more hint: always try to understand and visualize (sometimes by dissecti
ng animals....even) all the knowledge you get..
     Good luck

For the friends on net, excuses for &noise& but our mailer did not accept the
above address..
Because of that reason, i send it via Bionet (one of the cause of the essence
/existence of Bionet i think..)

Best regards..
