Veterinary Physiology and Biochemistry is a foundational course in veterinary medicine that explores the normal functions and chemical processes of animals' bodies. It focuses on the mechanisms that regulate bodily functions, including the nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, endocrine, and reproductive systems. The course also covers cellular metabolism, enzymatic reactions, nutrient utilization, and biochemical pathways essential for maintaining health.  

Understanding these physiological and biochemical processes is crucial for diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases in animals. It provides insight into how different species adapt to their environments, respond to stress, and metabolize nutrients and drugs. The course often includes laboratory components where students analyze biological samples, measure physiological responses, and study the effects of various substances on animal systems.  

Veterinary Physiology and Biochemistry serves as a bridge between basic sciences and clinical applications, forming the basis for pharmacology, pathology, and animal nutrition. Mastery of this subject is essential for veterinary professionals to make informed medical decisions and develop effective treatment strategies for animal health and welfare.
