BIOL 405: Comparative Animal Physiology provides an in-depth exploration of the physiological mechanisms and adaptations across various animal species. This course examines the fundamental principles of animal physiology, including the study of organ systems, physiological processes, and the integration of these systems to support the survival and function of animals in diverse environments. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of how animals respond and adapt to different physiological challenges, including temperature regulation, osmoregulation, respiration, circulation, and metabolism.
