General Physiology Course
This course builds expertise in general physiology using real fish models. It covers how animals maintain homeostasis under temperature and oxygen stress, including gill, kidney, cardiovascular, and nervous system functions, feedback control, and stress hormones. Learners design simple experiments, select model species, collect data with basic tools, and draw evidence-based conclusions, translating concepts into practical biological science.

What will I learn?
Gain a hands-on 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 interpret results for solid, evidence-based insights.
