Basic Chemistry

Alright, if you "love" chemistry as much as I do, then this part isn't too fun. However, you have to know a little bit of chem in order for everything else, the physiology portion at least,  to actually make sense.

Check out the sub-sections, then take a look at the links below if you need some other help visualizing things.
