Abstract
A still unresolved issue in human physiology is the mechanism of natural organ intermobility. Nevertheless, in front of this physiological phenomenon, incorporating skin, arteries, nerves, tendons, and muscles, we have to ask new questions. But any explanation has to conform with current knowledge and technologies; it cannot rely on observations from the beginning of last century. We mean that our traditional and current universitarian knowledge at the moment is not in conformity with up-to-date observations and has to be revised.
