.JPG) This core unit provides a broad training in fundamental aspects of zoology, and with KZA211 (the other core unit), forms an essential basis for specialist studies in Zoology at level 3.
This unit focuses on developing students' understanding of functional anatomy and comparative animal physiology from an evolutionary perspective.
Lectures include: - physiological integration and control
- comparative physiology of circulation
- respiration
- excretion and osmoregulation
- food acquisition strategies
Practical classes aim to develop skills in observation, data collection and analysis, oral and written communication, and an appreciation of the comparative approach to the study of physiological adaptations in animals. The practical format will be varied, involving some independent learning activities, and students will be required to participate in group work.
