Objectives:

Students completing the program in Veterinary Physiology 1 and 2 should know and understand:

  • the terminology of physiology;

  • the principles, and possess the essential information regarding the functions of different cell types and their interactions in organs and tissues;

  • the mechanisms by which the organ systems are controlled and coordinated in the normal animal body;

  • the numerical values and ranges of physiological variables commonly used to assess normal function and health in animals;

  • how to organise, conduct and document experiments on physiological systems;

  • how to analyse data from class experiments and to validate the data against published information; and

  • how to synthesise observations and experimental data in forms suitable for oral and written presentations.

Content:

An extension of Physiology 1: physiology of the nervous system; ruminant physiology; physiological responses to exercise; cardiovascular and respiratory physiology; endocrinology including hormone receptors; regulation of growth and development; comparative physiology of gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, respiratory, reproductive and endocrinological systems.
