Abstract
Applied veterinary physiology continues the study of normal renal, neurological and special sense systems and then explores applied physiology of acid-base regulation, cardiovascular/respiratory and endocrine systems during stress, performance and adaption to new situations. Physiology's application to meat production is examined. Comparative studies will expand the finer understanding of physiology … For more content click the Read More button below.

Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this subject, students should:
1.
be able to explain the normal function of renal and nervous systems in common domestic species;
2.
be able to identify and explain interactions between different body systems required for complex physiological processes such as production, locomotion, acid-base balance, exercise and thermoregulation;
3.
be able to apply and assimilate information from disparate sources to novel situations;
4.
be able to critically evaluate scientific literature, analyse data by using common statistical methods and integrate them with valid conclusions into a scientific format in a critical manner; and complex concepts presented in a scientific format; and
5.
be able to work as a team to achieve a group or individual goal.
