General Physiology Course
This course builds expertise in general physiology using fish models. It covers maintaining balance in the body, gill and kidney functions, heart and nerve controls, plus designing simple experiments to apply key biology ideas in real science work. Students gain hands-on skills for clear, evidence-based findings on stress responses.
