    Study Notes

    • Animal biology is a branch of science that studies the structure and function of animals, including their anatomy, physiology, and behavior.
    • Anatomy of animals:
      • Skeletal system: provides support, protection, and movement to the body.
      • Muscular system: responsible for movement in animals.
      • Nervous system: controls and coordinates body functions and responses.
      • Digestive system: breaks down food to provide energy and nutrients.
      • Circulatory system: transports blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout the body.
      • Respiratory system: facilitates the exchange of gases between the body and the environment.
      • Excretory system: eliminates waste products from the body.
      • Endocrine system: regulates various bodily functions through hormones.
      • Immune system: protects the body from harmful pathogens.
    • Physiology of animals:
      • Homeostasis: maintenance of a stable internal environment despite external changes.
      • Excretion: process of eliminating waste products from the body.
      • Digestion: process of breaking down food into nutrients that can be absorbed and used by the body.
      • Respiration: process of exchanging gases between the body and the environment.
      • Circulation: process of transporting blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout the body.
      • Nervous system: system responsible for controlling and coordinating body functions and responses.
      • Reproduction: process of producing offspring.
    • Comparative anatomy and physiology:
      • Subfields of biology that compare and contrast the structures and functions of different species.
      • Helps scientists understand the evolutionary relationships between species and the adaptations they have developed over time.
      • By studying the similarities and differences in the anatomy and physiology of different animals, scientists can gain insights into the functions of various body systems and the evolutionary history of life on Earth.
      • Knowledge can be applied to various fields including medicine, conservation, and biotechnology.
