ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY

ANSCI/DYSCI 373

Course Description

Covers physiological processes that regulate the body and the anatomy and function of different physiological systems. Includes interactions between organ systems, analysis of a single organ system from the molecular to the organismal, and comparisons and contrasts of organ systems among different domestic animal species.

COMPARATIVE ANIMAL NUTRITION

ANSCI/DYSCI/NUTRSCI 311

Nutrients and their assimilation, function, and interactions that affect metabolism in mammals. Differences among species will be used to emphasize unique digestive and physiological functions and how these differences affect metabolism of nutrients. Humans will be used in some comparisons. Follows physiological progression of nutrients, starting with an overview of the digestive tract followed by water and builds on specific roles of nutrients and substrates needed to provide basic processes required for maintenance, tissue accretion, and homeostatic regulation of nutrients.
