课程名称: 动物生理学2：血液、循环和气体交换 课程概述: 动物生理学是研究动物如何工作的科学，旨在了解动物作为机器的运作方式及其各系统之间的相互作用，以及其运作所受到的物理和化学限制。该课程将重点讨论动物作为一个统一的有机体，如何通过不同的组成部分协同工作以维持生命。尽管不同动物的进化历史各异，但它们在解决共同生理问题时常常采取创新的方法。本课程是动物生理学系列课程的第二部分，建议在此课程之前学习第一部分：动物生理学1：呼吸与气体交换。后续课程包括动物生理学3：消化与代谢以及动物生理学4：温度、水和代谢速率。该课程适合高年级生物专业本科生，以及希望复习动物生理学的研究生和专业人士。参加此课程前，学习者需具备合理水平的化学、物理、数学和生物学基础。课程包括约五小时的视频讲座，分为七个部分。
Animal physiology is, to use a common phrase, how animals work. Animals are, in one sense, machines, and the aim of the science of physiology is to understand how these machines function-what drives them, how they operate, the interaction of the various systems they comprise, and the physical and chemical constraints on how they work. Animals are also organisms, and this course is intended to help you understand how animals work as integrated units, i.e. as organisms. We will be concerned with how organisms' various components work to keep an animal alive, with how these are coordinated, and how the various types of animals, despite their disparate evolutionary histories, solve common physiological problems, sometimes in remarkably innovative ways. This course is the second in a series of courses that, together, would be the equivalent of a one-semester course in animal physiology. I strongly recommend that you take the first course in the series, Animal Physiology 1. Respiration and gas exchange, before you take this course. Subsequent courses in the series are Animal Physiology 3. Digestion and metabolism and Animal Physiology 4. Temperature, water and metabolic rate. This course is intended for the upper-division biology student. It is also a good course for graduate students and practicing professionals looking for a brush-up course in animal physiology. I presume that you come into this course with the background in chemistry, physics, mathematics and biology that can be reasonably expected of a senior biology student. The course consists of about five hours of video clips, parceled into seven lectures.
