Animal Physiology

Animal Physiology

Animal Physiology explores how animals regulate and coordinate physiological processes at the whole-organism level. Using four major case studies, the book examines circadian rhythms in mammals, immune tolerance during pregnancy, regulation of body fat and metabolism, and the physiological and evolutionary factors influencing lifespan. It provides an accessible exploration of how animals maintain internal balance and regulate complex metabolic functions.
