About this PDF

‘Animal Physiology’ course consists of two blocks and will introduce you to the various life supporting properties, functions and processes of animals. These processes can be studied at various levels of organization from membranes through to organelles, cells, organs, organ systems and to the whole animal. You will study about transport of nutrients, waste products and respiratory gases between the blood and tissue in cardiovascular and Respiratory Physiology. Renal Physiology, and Physiology of movement, the characteristic property of animals will be discussed in Muscle Physiology. Energy metabolism in animals in relation to oxygen consumption will be dealt in Digestive System. Conceptual view of organisation of nervous system and integrated function of the same are also discussed in this course. Biochemistry is the application of chemistry to study biological processes at the cellular and molecular level. The course aims to provide an advanced understanding of the core principles of enzymes, their kinetics, inhibition, and regulation, as well as the study of the energetics and the design of living systems, metabolic networks, and integration of metabolism. The students can apply this knowledge gained from the course to solve the analytical problem and enhance the interest in the field of biochemistry to pursue research.
