Introduction to animal physiology

Marcus Clauss Clinic for Zoo Animals, Exotic Pets and Wildlife, Vetsuisse Faculty, University of

Zurich, Switzerland Wildlife Digestive Physiology Course Vienna 2013

Science of organismal function from the subcellular level to the whole organism. Describes interactions of organism and environment. Quantifies rules for functions, linking them to physical

and (bio)chemical principles.

from Hill et al. (2004)

- describes rules that determine function of biological units of varying complexity

-  is linked to physical and biochemical principles - describes the link between the environment and the

biological unit -  is linked, by describing different or similar solutions to

the same challenges, to evolutionary history

Physiology

- especially when done in a comparative approach is utterly fascinating because of the amazing variety of life and the possibility to categorize/catalogue it
