| Outline and Purpose of the Course | This seminar aims to elucidate the relationship between environmental factors, such as global warming, and the physiological, immune and reproductive functions of animals at the molecular, cellular, tissue and whole-body levels. | ||
| Course Goals | Understand the basic principles and applications of animal physiology and anatomy. | ||
| Schedule and Contents |
The course will cover the following topics: 1. Physiological and morphological functions of animals (sessions 1 to 5: Shinichi Kume, Miki Sugimoto, Shuntaro Ikeda) Students will read recently published academic papers related to animal physiology, animal behavioral physiology, animal environmental physiology, and anatomy, and discuss them in detail. 2. Physiological functions of animal tissues and cells (sessions 6 to 10: Shinichi Kume, Miki Sugimoto, Shuntaro Ikeda) Students will read recently published academic papers related to the physiology and molecular biology of animal tissues and cells, and discuss them in detail. 3. Environmental change and the physiological and productive functions of animals (sessions 11 to 15: Shinichi Kume, Miki Sugimoto, Shuntaro Ikeda) Students will read recently published academic papers related to the relationship between external factors such as environmental hormones and global warming and the physiological and productive functions of animals, and discuss them in detail. |
