After learning about these taxonomic groups, we will look at some
specialized topics in zoology. We will consider the relationships between
an animal’s exterior appearance and interior functioning, looking first
at how size and structure affect an animal’s metabolism and then at the
protective and regulatory roles of such structures as skin, shells, and
bones
