ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY

ANSCI/DYSCI 102

Hands-on experience and demonstrations to develop practical skills with animals and to better understand the application of science to food production animals. It covers anatomy, physiology, nutrition, reproduction, genetics, management, animal welfare, and behavior of domesticated animals.

ANSCI 377

Provides immersive, hands-on training in large animal procedural and surgical techniques to develop knowledge and appreciation for the interconnectivity and interdependence between physiological processes of the various organ systems. Serves as an introduction to translatable skills for careers in biomedical animal research, veterinary medicine, or human medicine.

COMPBIO 551

Covers comparative veterinary physiology covering electrophysiology, and muscle, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal and acid-base physiology.

ANSCI/DYSCI 101

An overview of animal sciences covering anatomy, physiology, nutrition, reproduction, genetics, management, animal welfare, and behavior of domesticated animals. Food animals are emphasized to discuss their contributions to humans.

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.
