Semester II

Chordate and Physiology

Theory= 4 credits

Course objective: Chordate biology helps students gain an awareness and comprehension of scientific concepts that combine and reflect on how science works. As John A. Moore put it, science is the “way of knowing”. The comparative anatomy of vertebrates reveals distinct differences and similarities between the organisms. Using this section of the lesson, students will learn about the exciting journey of vertebrates and how evolution has shaped them to fit the demands of their surroundings.

The study of the structural and functional plans found in animals is known as animal physiology. Understanding how animals’ function on all levels as a whole integrated organism, from cells to tissues to organs, can be aided by knowledge gained through the study of animal physiology. Clarifying the functions of all cells in all organs and all animals in relation to the neurological, respiratory, circulatory, muscular, cellular communication, and transport systems, as well as any other physiological systems, falls under the purview of the scientific discipline known as physiology.
