**课程总结：动物生理学 3. 消化与代谢 (Coursera)** 本课程是动物生理学系列课程的第三部分，重点探讨动物如何通过消化和代谢来维持生命。课程旨在帮助学习者理解作为整体的动物是如何运作的，重点关注各个组成部分如何协同工作以维持动物的生存，以及不同动物如何以创新的方式解决共同的生理问题。 **课程亮点：** * **深入理解生理机制：** 课程将动物比作精密的机器，深入剖析其运作原理，包括驱动力、操作方式、系统间的交互作用以及物理和化学限制。 * **整合性生理视角：** 强调从整体有机体的角度理解生理功能，探讨各个部分如何协调运作以保持动物生命。 * **跨物种的生理解决方案：** 揭示不同动物在各自独特的进化历程中，如何以多样且往往极具创新性的方式解决共同的生理挑战。 * **建议的先修课程：** 强烈建议在学习本课程前完成 "动物生理学 1. 呼吸与气体交换" 和 "动物生理学 2. 血液与循环"。 * **后续课程：** 本课程之后是 "动物生理学 4. 温度、水与代谢率"。 * **目标受众：** 适合高年级生物学专业的学生，以及希望复习动物生理学知识的研究生和从业人员。 * **先修知识要求：** 假定学习者具备生物、化学、物理和数学的基础知识，如同资深生物学专业的学生所具备的一样。 * **课程结构：** 约有 6 小时的视频内容，分为 7 个讲座。 本课程是理解动物生命运作的宝贵资源，尤其侧重于消化与代谢这两个至关重要的生理过程。
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 third 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 two courses in the series, Animal Physiology 1. Respiration and gas exchange, and Animal Physiology 2. Blood and circulation, before you take this course. The next course in the series is 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 six hours of video clips, parceled into seven lectures.
