Objectives of the Course

The main purpose of the course is to provide knowledge about the neurophysiological processes of global warming and climate change, the stress physiology that shapes climate change, and the physiological effects on the endocrine system, and to comparatively evaluate the effects of climate change on the endocrine system between human and animal species.

Name of Lecturer(s)

Doç. Dr. Bülent BAYRAKTAR

Learning Outcomes

1	List the physiological structures in the endocrine system in humans and animals.
2	List the physiological structures in the nervous system of humans and animals.
3	It explains the physiological processes that occur in the nervous system due to climate change. People can examine and compare the physiological effects of global warming and climate changes on the endocrine system among animal species.
4	İklim değişikliğine bağlı olarak endokrin sistemde gerçekleşen fizyolojik süreçleri açıklar.İnsanlar, Hayvan türleri arasında küresel ısınma ve iklim değişikliklerinin endokrin sistem üzerindeki fizyolojik etkilerini inceleyerek karşılaştırabilir.
