BIOB34H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Neurophysiology
Document Summary
Chapter 1: animals and environments: function on the ecological state. Animals and environments: function on the ecological stage. Animal physiology is the study of animal function study of how animals work. Physiologists identify the functional challenges of species and how those challenges are met. Physiology is a principal discipline in understanding health disease many human diseases depend on understanding how human machine works. Nonhuman animals are used as models for understanding human physiology: squids can be used to advance knowledge of human neurophysiology because nerve cells of squids are large therefore easy to study. Physiology is the key disciplines for understanding: fundamental biology of all animals, health and disease of humans and nonhuman animals of importance in human affairs.
