1. 本課程目的在以演化學為核心，討論各類群動物的結構與功能之現況與限制． 從大象的耳朵談起，討論為什麼我們身體有一條魚、為什麼斑馬不會得胃潰瘍？而從叢林到文明，人類身體的演化和疾病的產生，卻是生物演化與文明演化不同調的必然．
2. 建立動物生理學的基本觀念，包括：動物體內恆定的觀念、正回饋及負回饋調控機制。透過以人體生理學的內容為基礎，討論各種生理機制的運作；再輔以各種動物的例子，將觀念強化。在討論各生理系統後，學生將具備生理學知識之基本素養，並能讀懂科普雜誌如 Scientific American中，生理學相關的文章的能力。
3. 能夠理解蜘蛛絲如何產生？蝙蝠的回聲定位是怎麼回事？豐年蝦是地表最強的滲透壓調節者？如果妳/你的皮膚像山椒魚的，敷面膜就有用．1. The purpose of this course is to discuss the current situations and limitations of the structure and functions of various groups of animals with evolution as the core. From the ears of elephants, we discuss why we have a fish in our bodies and why spotted horses won’t get stomach upset? From forests to civilization, the evolution of human bodies and the emergence of diseases are inevitable for different adjustments between biological evolution and civilization evolution.
2. Establish basic concepts of animal physiology, including: fixed concepts, positive and negative feedback control mechanisms in the animal body. By using the content of human physiology as the basis, we discuss the operation of various physiological mechanisms; and then strengthen the concept by taking the examples of various animals. After discussing various physiological systems, students will have the ability to prepare the basics of physiological knowledge and be able to read popular science magazines such as Scientific American, physiological-related articles.
3. Can you understand how spider silk is produced? What is the bat's reply positioning? Is Fengnian aphrodisiac the strongest impulse regulator on the surface? If your skin is like a pineapple, applying a facial mask is useful.
