Animal Physiology and Growth

Physiology is the integrative study of the control of normal body function. This subject will examine the functions of different cell types and their interactions in organs and tissues; mechanisms by which organs are controlled and their functions are regulated; thermoregulatory processes and fluid balance; the physiology of the nervous system, of digestion, circulation, respiration, and excretion; the processes of growth and development, and factors that can be manipulated to alter animal performance under normal conditions.

• 1Describe the anatomy and normal physiological function of the nervous, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, endocrine and urinary systems in domestic animals
• 2Apply the concept of homeostasis and how the internal environment of the animal is actively maintained by the function of cells, tissues and organs
• 3Evaluate the impact of external environmental cues on animal physiology
• 4Describe growth processes and their control
• 5Demonstrate skills in conducting physiology experiments, including the collection, analysis and interpretation of data
