About This Course

This course contains self-paced online learning modules that accompany ZOOL223. Animal Physiology (ZOOL223) is an 18-point paper that uses lectures, labs and readings to explore selected topics in animal physiology. The lab programme has a strong focus on experimental design with the opportunity to design and carry out you own research project. Animal physiology is about how animals function in their external environment and how their internal functions work together in an integrated way. In this course, our focus will be on the brain’s response to sensory experience, metamorphosis across a variety of animal taxa, sex and reproduction and environmental physiology. ZOOL223 is a required paper for all Zoology majors, and an optional paper for a number of related disciplines (i.e. Genetics, Ecology, Neuroscience).Include your long course description here.
