Course description
In the veterinary integrated physiology, a part of veterinary physiology, you will learn about the control mechanisms of cellular and organ function, homeostasis and the integrated system to maintain life of mammal and aves, with points of comparative physiological view.

7)transmission across synapses
8)function of cerebrum
9)function of brain stem
10)function of hypothalamus for maintenance of life
11)function of cerebellum
12)somatic sensation
13)muscular spindle and tendon organ
14)spinal reflex and postural reflex
15)autonomic nervous system
16)sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system
17)mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction
18)mechanism of smooth muscle contraction
19)muscle fatigue
20)characteristics of senses and strength
21)auditory sensor and vestibular sensation
22)sense of vision
23)degustation
