Book Title: Animal Physiology
Subtitle: Hello Readers, My name is Eddie Joo and I am the co-author as well as the person behind the cover art for this OER. The reason I chose the specific elements on the cover are relatively simple. I dislike the textbooks that just slap random images or things related to the subject and make the cover look really busy. I don't know about you, but any poster or ad that has something to do with Alaska usually includes mountains so I chose the ocean/water instead. Same reason with the animals as the Bear, Wolf, etc. are the go to animals when portraying Alaska so a Dall Sheep, Orca, and an Owl grace the cover. Last but most important to me is the sunrise/sunset gradient. I love seeing both in the winter and is special to me so I added it in as a little Easter egg for me. I hope you enjoy this book! Regards, Eddie

This book is the first edition (Fall 2022) to the exploration of two main core concepts in physiology; Systems Integration, and Homeostasis, in animals at the tissue and organ system level. The flow of this book focuses on how organ systems work together. Foundational homeostatic principles are introduced within the first chapter and threaded throughout the chapters within this text. This text was created by Eddie Joo to supplement students learning within the University of Alaska Anchorage’s Animal Physiology course. The content in this open textbook was adapted from other open textbooks (CC-BY-4.0) resources or created/written by Rachael Hannah and Eddie Joo. This work was funded by an Institutional Development Award (IDeA) from the National Institutes of Health as a Curriculum grant from ALASKA INBRE.
