Course Objectives
Biol. 345 is an animal physiology course with an emphasis on functional processes in vertebrates. Specifically the course will focus on physiological mechanisms involved in coordination, movement, metabolism, respiration, circulation, excretion, and temperature regulation at the molecular, tissue and organ or organ system level. The objectives of this course are threefold: 1) to introduce you to the central principles/concepts of animal physiology; 2) to further develop your data interpretation and problem-solving skills; and, 3) to expand your factual knowledge of animal physiology.
