Full Description
Veterinary physiology deals with the investigation of animal systems and the functioning of these biological systems. It includes the study of study of how animals work and the physical and chemical processes that occur within animals. ... Veterinary physiology includes both anatomy and physiology of an animal. In veterinary education and research, biochemistry is highly relevant to the metabolism and function of animals in health and disease and forms the basis for an intelligent understanding of major aspects of veterinary science and animal husbandry.
