| This course will examine the physiological processes that enable animals to live within a diverse range of environments. Lectures
will focus on the underlying molecular and cellular events that mediate physiological processes and contribute to whole animal
homeostasis, and emphasize strategies and adaptations used by different animals when influenced by various environmental conditions.
Fundamental mechanisms in animal physiology such as diffusion, osmosis, feedback systems, and homeostasis will be explored
in nervous, muscular, endocrine and sensory physiological systems. An associated lab course (ZOO*3610) is available.
