| Course description |
|
The purpose of this lecture is to provide students with the knowledge needed to understand the basics of animal physiology, especially endocrinology, immunology and neurology fields. The lecture also provides students with the latest knowledge in these fields. This lecture introduces the basic and latest knowledge of homeostasis mechanisms in mammals from the aspects of endocrine, immune and nervous system. The students will be expected to understand the ingenious mechanisms for homeostatic systems in animals through this lecture. |
| Expected Learning |
|
- Understanding the homeostasis in animals, mainly mammals. - Understanding the endocrine system in animals. - Understanding the immune system in animals. - Understanding the nervous system in animals.
