Course Objective

Physiology is described, the basic of animal physiology from the most primitive to the most developed. The skeleton, digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory, kidney, nerves, hormones systems are explained. Taste, smell, hearing and equilibrium, vision, general senses mechanisms are explained. The knowledge is given about physicological systems in vertebrata, invertebrata
