General Physiology Course
This course provides a practical introduction to animal physiology using fish models. Students explore how animals maintain homeostasis during temperature and oxygen stress, covering gill, cardiovascular, excretory, and nervous systems. Key topics include feedback mechanisms, stress hormones, and experimental design with data collection and analysis for evidence-based insights in biological science.
