| Relation to curriculum | Course description: This course explores the functions of cells and organs within a coordinated and integrative system, including the physiology of the muscular, nervous, sensory, blood, cardiovascular, and endocrine systems, as well as the physiology of fish and crustaceans. Each topic will also cover deviations in physiological functions that can lead to diseases or disorders. Relation to curriculum: This course provides essential knowledge of fundamental physiological functions and systems in animals, establishing a foundational understanding necessary to diagnose and treat diseases in the veterinary curriculum. |
| Type of teaching and contact hours | Face-to-face class activities (2×50 minutes per week) – Lectures – Collaborative learning – Case studies and case-based learning – Small group discussion Laboratory practice (170 minutes per week) |
| Workload | Students are required to complete a minimum of 136 hours in one semester, which consist of: 1. Face-to-face class activities (26.67 hours) 2. Structured assignments (32 hours) 3. Independent study (32 hours) 4. Laboratory practice (45.33 hours) |
| Credit points | 3 credit points (equivalent to 4.76 ECTS) |
| Requirements according to the examination regulations | Students must attend a minimum of 80% of classes and submit all assignments before the final exam. |
| Recommended prerequisites | Veterinary Biochemistry |
| Module objectives or intended learning outcomes | After completing this course, students should be able to (1) explain the processes and functions of the physiological systems, including the organization of physiology, cell physiology, muscular system, nervous system, sensory system, blood and cardiovascular systems, and endocrine system across various animal classifications in an integrative and comprehensive manner using physiological concepts and principles; and (2) use physiological concepts and principles to support diagnosis in veterinary medicine based on the processes and functions of physiological systems, including the mechanisms of action of body systems in aquatic animals, especially fish and crustaceans. |
