Animal Form and Function

This document explores the physiological principles underlying animal form and function, emphasizing the relationship between strength, weight, and surface area. It examines concepts like aerobic respiration, regulatory and conformational homeostasis, and the thermoregulatory adaptations found in species such as the Alpine marmot. Additionally, it discusses the mechanisms of countercurrent heat exchange and the differences between heterotherms, poikilotherms, and homeotherms, highlighting how these factors contribute to an organism's survival in varying environments.
