| 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 endocrinological processes that occur due to 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 | Can explain the physiological functions of hormones in humans and animals | | 3 | List the physiological structures in the endocrine system in humans and animals. | | 4 | Explains the endocrinological processes and physiological processes that occur due to climate change. Humans can compare and contrast animal species by examining the physiological effects of global warming and climate changes on the endocrine system. |
