Animal Physiology, 5th Edition, authored by Richard Hill and published by Sinauer Associates, is a 992-page textbook investigating how animal biological systems function within ecological settings. The opening chapters establish essential principles across cell physiology, genomics, proteomics, physiological development, and epigenetics to frame how animals adapt to environmental stage conditions.

The narrative provides a broad structural progression through metabolic processes, thermal relations, and internal organ coordination. Core thematic arcs cover solute transport, nutrition, energy energetics, neuronal transmission, sensory processing, neuroendocrine integration, muscle movement, gas transport, circulation, and osmoregulation across diverse animal taxa.

Delivered in a reflowable eTextbook format under ISBN 9780197553619, the volume incorporates built-in study tools, read aloud functionality, offline reading capability, and global text search features. Corresponding to print ISBN 9780197552438, these integrated digital features directly assist students and professors engaged in biological sciences coursework.
