课程名称：动物生理学 4：温度、热量与水分平衡 课程概述：动物生理学是研究动物如何运作的科学。从某种意义上说，动物可以被视为机器，而生理学的目标是理解这些机器的功能——驱动它们的因素、运作方式、构成它们的各种系统之间的相互作用以及影响它们运作的物理和化学限制。此外，动物还是生物体，本课程旨在帮助您理解动物作为一个整体单元如何运作。我们将关注生物体各个组成部分如何协同工作以维持动物的生命，以及尽管不同动物的进化历史迥异，它们如何以创新的方式解决共同的生理问题。本课程是动物生理学系列课程的第四部分，连同前面的课程，整体相当于一个学期的动物生理学课程。建议在学习本课程之前，修读系列中的前两门课程：动物生理学 1：呼吸与气体交换、动物生理学 2：血液与循环、动物生理学 3：消化与新陈代谢。该课程适合高年级生物学学生，亦适合希望强化动物生理学知识的研究生及在职专业人士。学员需具备相应的化学、物理、数学和生物学基础，预计为高年级生物学生水平。课程包括约六小时的视频内容，共分为七个讲座。
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 fourth 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, Animal Physiology 2. Blood and circulation,and Animal Physiology 3: Digestion and metabolism before you take this course.. 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.
