BIOL 455 - Principles of Animal Physiology

(4)
Central themes of physiology are presented including homeostasis, adaptation, acclimation and the relationship of structure to function as well as integrated systems of control. While vertebrate physiology is emphasized, models are also taken from invertebrate phyla. An experimental approach is used in lecture and laboratory to investigate physiological processes. Provides a strong background for students interested in animal biology and for those seeking advanced or professional degrees. Prerequisites: BIOL 116, 210; CHEM 111, 145, 236. Even Years Fall.
