Animal Comparative Physiology
ANIM304
Description
The course is a systematic study of the function of internal animal systems, from the cellular to the organ-system level, with particular emphasis on thermoregulation and the circulatory, respiratory, endocrine, and nervous systems. Special focus will be placed on processes supporting organismal homeostasis, with examples from animals commonly found in wild and captive veterinary care in aquatic and terrestrial environments. Throughout the term, students will investigate how environmental challenges to homeostasis dictate the physiological strategies and responses of animals, including consequences to their health and well-being. Students will also focus on the evaluation of data collection methodologies for use in research and veterinary care.
