Animal Physiology Course
Master the science of how animals work from the inside out. This course covers every major body system — from neurons and muscles to kidneys and hormones — using a comparative approach that spans invertebrates to mammals. Build the rigorous physiological knowledge demanded in biology, veterinary, and biomedical careers.

What will I learn?
You will gain a thorough understanding of how animal body systems function individually and together to maintain homeostasis. The course covers neurophysiology, muscle mechanics, cardiovascular and respiratory dynamics, renal osmoregulation, endocrine signalling, and thermoregulation. You will also explore comparative adaptations across diverse animal taxa, from fish and amphibians to birds and mammals. Hormonal feedback axes, gas exchange strategies, and metabolic physiology are examined in precise mechanistic detail. By the end, you will be equipped to read primary literature critically and design sound physiological experiments.
