General Physiology Course
This course builds your knowledge in general physiology using real fish models. You will study how animals maintain homeostasis, explore gill and kidney functions, cardiovascular and nervous system controls, and learn to design simple experiments that apply core concepts to practical biological science in Ghanaian lab settings. Gain hands-on skills to understand stress responses under temperature and oxygen challenges.

What will I learn?
Gain a practical overview of animal physiology focusing on homeostasis during temperature and oxygen stress. Study gill, cardiovascular, excretory, and nervous systems, feedback mechanisms, and stress hormones. Learn to design experiments, choose freshwater model species, use basic lab tools for data collection, and draw evidence-based conclusions suitable for Ghanaian research contexts.
