This course is aimed as a preliminary course of animal biology, emphasizing key topics such
as animal size, homeostasis, osmoregulation, sensory systems and locomotion. The course
covers topics on tissues, organs and organ systems. The student is introduced to homeostasis
and heat exchange in animals. Animal osmoregulation and locomotory structures like muscles
and skeleton are discussed. Another important aspect of animal colouration and integument is
introduced here. The final section focuses on nerve impulse transduction, memory and
sensory organs.
