Well written assignment. I received a distinction (above 80%) for this assignment. Please see second page of preview to see which assessment questions are in the assignment.

ZOL2601 is all about comparative animal physiology. It covers the difference how aquatic animals respire and how terrestrial animals respire, this include the important respiratory organs and how they function. Learning unit 1 also explains how some animals respire through their skin. This is what learning unit 1 is about (lecture 1.1 - lecture 1.5)

In learning unit 2.1 the following aspects are explained in detail, the different functions of blood as well as the composition of blood. A clear summary of the 4 different respiratory pigments and their functions is included in this unit. Lastly the transport of oxygen in blood is explained.

The types of respiratory movements for air breathing animals, and the important respiratory organs are explained in learning unit 1.3. It also explains how certain animals can respire through their skin.

Learning unit 1.1 covers the basic knowledge about respiration. It explains greenhouse gases, as well as Henry's law and how to use Henry's law to do equations.

In unit 2.3, the oxygen dissociation curve is explained, as well as the important factors that can cause the oxygen dissociation curve shift from the left to the right. The chemical reaction of the curve is explained, and factors that affect binding of oxygen with haemoglobin. The different curves are explained and showed in the summary.

In lecture 1.2 , it is more about how organisms respire in water. In this unit the E. Newton Harvey equation is explained as well as the important respiratory organs and their functions. Different types of ventilation for gills can be found in lecture 1.2
