| Outline and Purpose of the Course | In an animal's body, each tissue/organ has its own physiological function, and the mechanism of homeostasis maintains the internal condition constant by coordinating the function of tissues and organs. The lecture describes the structure of animal cells, tissues, and organs, as well as their anatomical and physiological characteristics. It also provides an explanation of what happens when internal homeostasis is disrupted, i.e., what kind(s) of illness(es) would occur. | |||
| Course Goals | To understand basic animal bodily structures and provide logical explanations of the physiological structure of each organ and the maintenance of homeostasis. | |||
