- Course objectives
- The lecture introduces into problematics of physiological processes in animal groups living in diverse ecological environments. It draws from human physiology resources and provide basics fundaments of molecular physiology. The main objective of the course is to obtain contemporary knowledge of physiological regulation mechanisms and undertand them in broad adaptive and evolutionary context. Student will be able to describe details of physiological processes as well as to analyse cooperation among physiological systems.
