The primary aim of the Animal Physiology course is to help students understand how animals function at the organism level by explaining their biological systems, the functioning of these systems, and their physiological processes.
The Animal Physiology course aims to help students understand the biological systems of animal organisms, their functioning, and physiological processes. The course covers fundamental organ systems in detail, starting from the cellular level and including the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, excretory, nervous, and endocrine systems. It explains how animals adapt to environmental conditions, helping students grasp the concepts of biological diversity and evolution. Additionally, by examining physiological processes at the cellular and molecular levels, it provides students with a basic cellular understanding. The course also explains the effects of health and diseases on human and animal physiology.
