This course provides an integrated study of struch1re and function within the Animal Kingdom. Comparisons will examine differences in structure and regulation with consideration for cellular and molecular physiology, but with an emphasis on the integration of physiological systems at the level of tissues, organs, and whole organisms. Major body systems including muscular, nervous, endocrine, urinary, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and reproductive will be examined under normal conditions, and in response to stressors and disease to understand function and regulation in the pursuit of homeostasis.
