ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY

Prerequisites & course information

Requisites: ZOOLOGY/BIOLOGY/BOTANY 151 , ( ZOOLOGY/BIOLOGY 101 and 102 ), or BIOCORE 383 Course Designation: Core GenEd - Natural Science & Wellness + Lab Breadth - Biological Science Level - Intermediate L&S Credit - L&S Liberal Arts and Science Repeatable for Credit: No Last Taught: Fall 2026 Learning Outcomes: 1. Integrate the physiological processes that regulate the body of different animal species (largely domestic animals and humans) Audience: Undergraduate 2. Synthesize the regulation of an organ system from the molecular level all the way to the whole animal level and apply knowledge of a physiological mechanism to explain how a whole animal physiological process occurs Audience: Undergraduate 3. Integrate interactions between different organ systems (homeostasis) and explain the anatomy of different physiological systems and their specific functions Audience: Undergraduate 4. Determine how changes in internal or external environment will alter physiologic processes to deal with these changes Audience: Undergraduate 5. Determine how changes in one physiological system may impact a different physiological system Audience: Undergraduate 6. Describe similarities and differences in physiologic systems between animal species (with emphasis on domestic animals and humans) Audience: Undergraduate 7. Explain how structure-function relationships underlie/determine physiological phenomena Audience: Undergraduate Learning Outcomes: 1.
