Animal physiology – 1: Course Support

Abstract

This course support is designed for students of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, specialty 0841.1 Veterinary Medicine, and provides a systematic presentation of the fundamental processes governing the functioning of animal organisms. The material clearly and comprehensively explains cellular physiology, neural and muscular mechanisms, endocrine regulation, as well as sensory and autonomic system functions, emphasizing the principles of homeostasis and adaptation to internal and external environments. Its coherent structure and detailed explanations facilitate the understanding of essential physiological processes that form the basis of veterinary practice and the development of future clinical competencies. This support serves as a solid theoretical foundation, indispensable for veterinary students in evaluating, diagnosing, and interpreting the functional states of animals.
