General Physiology Course
This course builds expertise in general physiology using fish models. It covers homeostasis maintenance, gill and kidney functions, cardiovascular and neural controls, plus designing simple experiments to apply core concepts in biological science practice. Students gain hands-on skills in data collection and analysis for evidence-based insights under environmental stresses like heat and low oxygen.

What will I learn?
Gain a practical overview of animal physiology focusing on homeostasis under temperature and oxygen challenges. 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 clear conclusions from results.
