General Physiology Course
This course provides a practical introduction to animal physiology, focusing on how organisms maintain homeostasis during temperature and oxygen challenges. Students explore key systems like gills, cardiovascular, excretory, and nervous functions, along with feedback mechanisms and stress hormones. Through hands-on activities, learners design experiments, choose model species, gather data with simple tools, and draw evidence-based conclusions, building skills for real-world biological research.
