Animal Physiology
Author:Richard W. Hill, Gordon A. Wyse, Margaret Anderson
Edition:4th Edition
With an emphasis on how animals function across diverse environments, this text connects cellular processes to integrated physiological systems. It explores energy use, transport, regulation, and adaptation, showing how organisms maintain internal balance while responding to ecological pressures and changing conditions.
