General Physiology Course
This course provides a hands-on introduction to general physiology using fish models. Students explore how animals maintain homeostasis under temperature and oxygen stress, covering gill, cardiovascular, excretory, and nervous systems. Key topics include feedback control, stress hormones, experimental design, data collection with simple lab tools, and evidence-based analysis of physiological responses.
