BIOL 3040U – Animal Physiology

Examines the close relationship between structure and function from the molecular to cellular to organic level and the processes by which regulation of physiological functions occur in animals with a particular focus on mammalian systems. Emphasis is placed on the sensing and signaling systems (nervous and endocrine) and then on the effector systems (muscles and glands). Weekly laboratories reinforce the concepts introduced in lecture and focus on relevant skills required to succeed in modern biological and health research.
