About this audiobook
The illustrations in this book are created by “Team Educohack”.
Understanding Animal Functions is an engaging and comprehensive textbook that incorporates major paradigms of animal physiology. This book is a harmonious blend of accurate information and clear explanations, slightly biased towards mammals, but also shining a light on other vertebrates and invertebrates like molluscs and arthropods.
We follow a time-honored approach to bookmaking, ensuring pedagogical relevance. This textbook aligns with the academic curricula of various institutions and is targeted at graduate and undergraduate students and their instructors. The content integrates animal physiology with disciplines such as ecology, genetics, and evolutionary and molecular biology.
We emphasize the importance of physiology in an animal’s life, discussing developments and processes like migration, endogenous rhythms, and adaptations to extreme conditions. The book excludes parasitism and pathological aspects to focus on these core topics.
With its engaging narrative and illustrative visuals, Understanding Animal Functions enhances the learning experience, making complex concepts accessible and interesting.
