Course Name: Animal Physiology

Course abstract

The course will be an informal journey to ‘know your own body’. It will provoke you to think the following:

  • How our body functions?
  • What it is made up of and what are the organizational hierarchy of your body?
  • How its regular function is disrupted and how the body tries to restore its normal functioning?>
  • How the body adjusts itself under extreme physiological situations and how it re-calibrates its functions
