Course Objective

Evolutionary physiology is a branch of comparative physiology, one of the important branches of physiology, which focuses on certain characteristics of different species and organisms of the same species at different stages of development. Evolutionary physiology has branches of ecology, ontology, and paleophysiology. The purpose and task of the subject is to study the structure of the animal body, the laws of life activity from primitive to higher in phylogeny.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   At the end of this course, students will be able to live from elementary to advanced level 1. blood-vascular system, 2. breathing, 3. digestion, 4. endocrine system, 5. secretion, 6. nervous system, sensory organs, 7. they will get detailed information about the regularities of the reproductive system being formed in the phylogeny or the process of evolutionary development and rising to the modern higher level.
