ZOO301 – Animal Form & Function – I Book

The book ZOO301 – Animal Form and Function I is one of the key learning materials for students enrolled in the course ZOO301 at Virtual University. This book covers a few very interesting aspects of animal biology, including the deep interrelationship between the structure form of an organism and its physiological processes or functions. It gives them an overview of how animals are adapted to their various environments and the anatomical features related to biological functions.

The course ZOO 301 explains the general principles of animal physiology, structure, and functions of different organ systems and their interaction in maintaining homeostatic balance in the body. The respective accounts of circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and excretory systems in vertebrates and invertebrates are discussed in detail. It further explores the cellular and molecular mechanisms contributing toward the functions of these systems.

One of the important constituents of this book is an approach from the point of view of evolutionary adaptations: how the forms and functions in animals have evolved through generations under natural environmental challenges. By looking into a wide variety of species, students will gain insight into the different ways animals meet the various environmental challenges that range from temperature regulations, locomotion, and feeding.

The book will be of particular use to any student pursuing their career in zoology, biology, or similar disciplines since the contents in this edition of ZOO301 – Animal Form and Function-I are well-illustrated and provided in an interactive mode. It provides basic concepts that get extended to higher studies in animal physiology and comparative biology.
