Animal Histology and Physiology is offered to develop an all-round understanding of the structural and functional properties of animals at different levels (i.e., cell, tissue, organ, organism). Physiology simply means "study of how animals work". Animal physiologists study the structure and function of the various parts of an animal, and how these parts work together to allow animals to perform their normal behaviors and to respond to their environments. During this course you will learn to;
1. explain the structure and tissues level organization of major organ systems of animals (especially vertebrates)
2. describe the relationships between structure and physiological function of organ systems in animals (especially vertebrates)
3. explain the mechanisms by which the organ systems of vertebrates operate and functions coordinated.
4. differentiate the mechanisms involved in the regulatory processes of animals
5. conduct experiments to relate theoretical knowledge in animal physiology to observations and experimental data
