Module 3: Animal Structure and Function
Lecture 3.1: Cellular Structure and Animal Tissues
Discussion Topics:
o Overview of animal cell structure and function.
o Major tissue types: epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous.
o Specialization and differentiation of cells and tissues.
Key Concepts: Cell theory, tissue specialization, function of different
tissue types in animals.
Lecture 3.2: Overview of Major Organ Systems in Animals
Discussion Topics:
o Comparative structure and functions of major organ systems
(digestive, circulatory, etc.).
o Role of each system in maintaining homeostasis.
o Insights into human physiology based on comparative animal
studies.
Key Concepts: Organ system functions, physiological integration,
comparative anatomy.
