NOC | Animal Physiology

Course abstract

The course will be an informal journey to ‘know your own body’. It will provoke you to think the following:

How our body functions?
What it is made up of and what are the organizational hierarchy of your body?
How its regular function is disrupted and how the body tries to restore its normal functioning?>
How the body adjusts itself under extreme physiological situations and how it re-calibrates its functions
