A nice summary
By Mirşah S. on 21. July 2024 for Cardiovascular Pharmacology

I really liked lecture materiales like editing of video and pdfs. But I think if I didn’t know the lesson before. I wouldnt learn here first time. Because ?t’s like a summary. It’s such a good way to remember the lesson. But for first time not that much. I think its matter of style.

 
Amazing lecture
By Nariel G. on 09. July 2024 for Embryologic Development of the Heart and Circulation

A really short and good summary of foetal circulation. Whilst not extensive, when taken in consideration with other lectures, makes a really good introduction.
