	Physiology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Physiology (in Greek physis = nature and logos = word) is the study of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of living organisms.
		Physiology has traditionally been divided into plant physiology and animal physiology but the principles of physiology are universal, no matter what particular organism is being studied.
		Herman Boerhaave is sometimes referred to as the father of physiology due to his exemplary teaching in Leiden and textbook 'Institutiones medicae'(1708).

	AllRefer.com - respiration : Animal Respiration (Anatomy And Physiology) - Encyclopedia
		In complex animals, where the cells of internal organs are distant from the external environment, respiratory systems facilitate the passage of gases to and from internal tissues.
		In such systems, when there is a difference in pressure of a particular gas on opposite sides of a membrane, the gas diffuses from the side of greater pressure to the side of lesser pressure, and each gas is transported independently of other gases.
		In lower animals, gas diffusion takes place through a moist surface membrane, as in flatworms; through the thin body wall, as in earthworms; through air ducts, or tracheae, as in insects; or through specialized tracheal gills, as in aquatic insect larvae.

	Animal physiology (from zoology) -- Britannica Student Encyclopedia
		Animals differ from members of the two other multicellular kingdoms, the plants (Plantae) and the fungi (Mycota), in fundamental variations in morphology and physiology.
		It includes both the inquiry into individual animals and their constituent parts, even to the molecular level, and the inquiry into animal populations, entire faunas, and the relationships of animals to each other, to plants, and to the nonliving environment.
		Physiology is concerned with the way the individual parts of an animal or human work and how their workings affect other parts and the whole organism.

		This course examines how ‘whole animals’ work; explaining how vertebrate body systems interact, how coordination is achieved and how the physiology of animals is related to their environment.
		The rest of the course is concerned primarily with animal performance, particularly in relation to the expenditure of energy.
		To understand the physiological basis of animal activity, we need to know something of the structure and function of the tissues of the body that are implicated in movement, notably the muscles, tendons, bones and joints, so this topic is addressed next.

		The Program of Study ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY is designed to provide a solid foundation in basic physiological mechanisms in the first year of study, and to offer a wide selection of specialty interests in the second year of study.
		The Program of Study ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY is housed in the Department of Biomedical Sciences in the Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine for the obvious connections between physiology, anatomy, pathology, medicine, surgery and the creation of new knowledge through biomedical research.
		And it is not unusual for undergraduate physiology students to present their research at scientific meetings and to share (or lead) authorship in the professional literature.

		Experimental animals that are given the opportunity to self-administer cannabinoids generally do not choose to do so, which has led to the conclusion that they are not reinforcing and rewarding.
		The behavioral study used a "place preference" test, in which an animal is given repeated doses of a drug in one place, and is then given a choice between a place where it received the drug and a place where it did not.
		Animal research has demonstrated the potential for dependence, but this potential is observed under a narrower range of conditions than with benzodiazepines, opiates, cocaine, or nicotine.

		I taught Comparative Animal Physiology (Biology 334) at the University of Puget Sound in the fall of 2002.
		If a (juvenile or adult) animal's intake is not sufficient to sustain its current body size, it will literally digest its tissues (mainly muscle, the body's biggest reserve of protein) in order to free up some amino acids for maintenance and repair.
		Since animals can synthesize some amino acids from scratch but not others, what is most important is their intake of the "essential" amino acids rather than their total protein intake per se.
