BIOL208: Animal Structure and Function

This unit explores biological diversity of form and function in the major groups of animals. The relationships between structure and function are emphasised, and a comparative approach is taken to understand how different animal groups have responded to common environmental challenges. Topics include basic structural organisation, and integration of physiological processes.
