Biology: Human and Animal Physiology

Education facts

Code: BIOC11

<p>BIOC11</p><p>The overall aim of the course is that the student shall be able to describe how the morphology of the body, account for important physiological processes and how these are regulated as well as make comparisons between different animal groups and relate physiological adaptations to different environments.</p> <p>The course treat general principles structure and function of organs and tissues as well as physiological control mechanisms. The organ systems of humans and other animals' are studied and compared from a physiological perspective. Special consideration is also taken to evolutionary adaptations, including adaptations to environmental factors as energy supply, temperature, levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide as well as water availability and osmolarity The course also includes ethical aspects on use of laboratory animals and a physiologically oriented project.</p>
