Animal Physiology with special reference to mammals
1.Osmoregulation, membrane permeability : active and passive transport across
membrane.
2.Physiology of Digestion : Nature of food-stuff, various types of digestive
enzymes and their digestive action in the alimentary canal.
3.Physiology of Circulation : Composition : Composition and function of blood :
mechanism of blood clotting : heating beat: cardiac cycle : blood pressure: body
temperature regulation
4.Physiology of respiration : Mechanism of breathing : exchanges of gases :
transportation of oxygen and carbon dioxide in blood: regulation of respiration.

urine : hormonal regulation of water and electrolyte balance.
Section-B
Regulatory aspect of animals Physiology

chemical and biophysical events during contraction and relaxation of muscle
fibres.
