General Physiology Course
This course builds expertise in general physiology using fish models. It covers maintaining homeostasis, functions of gills and kidneys, cardiovascular and neural controls, plus designing simple experiments to apply core concepts in biological science practice. Students gain practical skills in lab techniques and data analysis for temperature and oxygen stress scenarios.

What will I learn?
Gain a practical overview of animal physiology focusing on homeostasis under 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.
