course outline

This webpage is designed to be an additional resource for your studies of comparative physiology. It provides an overview of course lectures linked to supplementary study material for each subject. In the future, the linked study pages will contain key illustrations. Also, you will find various examples of self-study questions that are similar to those questions being asked in midterms and the final. Use your notes or textbook to help you answer the questions.

The following topics are expected to be covered during the semester (subject to change). Please note: the linked materials are for students only. Students will need to provide the login given by the professor.
