Introduction

---

Our veterinary physiology course covers the following topics:

Basic Principles of Physiology:

• Homeostasis: Mechanisms that maintain stable internal conditions.
• Cellular Physiology: Functions of cells, including metabolism, signaling, and communication.

Systemic Physiology:

• Cardiovascular System: Heart function, blood flow, blood pressure, and circulation.
• Respiratory System: Mechanisms of breathing, gas exchange, and regulation of respiration.
• Digestive System: Processes of digestion, absorption, and metabolism of nutrients.
• Urinary System: Kidney function, urine formation, and fluid-electrolyte balance.
• Endocrine System: Hormones, glands, and their roles in regulating physiological processes.
• Nervous System: Neural control, sensory and motor functions, and central nervous system activities.
• Reproductive System: Physiology of reproduction, including the estrous cycle, pregnancy, and parturition.

Comparative Physiology: Differences and similarities in physiology among various animal species, including domesticated animals, wildlife, and exotic species.

Pathophysiology: How physiological processes are altered in disease states, including common disorders and their effects on normal function.
