This book, one in the series of books on animal groups, comentrates its focus upon fishes and their endocrine system. Centering focus upon all classes and major species of fish, the book delineates the importance of the endocrine system in fishes, particularly as it controls chemical coordination in fishes, especially through the functioning of hormones. The processes of circulation, respiration, air breathing, body temperature water balance, swimming and ...
This book, one in the series of books on animal groups and their body systems and physiology, brings within its purview the development process exhibited in amphibians. The book not only studies the principles, processes and concepts that define amphibian development through various stages in their life cycle, but also the larger importance of development studies in amphibians within the context of understanding ecosystems, genetics, ecology and evolution. In ...
This book, one in the series of book on animal groups, focuses its attention onto mammalian endocrinology. The effective regulation of the body's functions requires not only the constant modulation and integration by the nervous system, but also chemical control by the endocrine system. As such, the neuro-endocrine system is one of the most crucial body systems, ensuring that all other systems are run in smooth fashion. The book not only devotes its pages to ...
This book, one in the series of books focusing upon animal groups and their physiology and development, concentrates its focus on reptilian endocrinology. The endocrine system, together with the autonomic nervous system, controls and regulates body functions. As such, the neuroendocrine system is then one of the most crucial body systems, for it ensures integration of all the systems into a smoothly operating organism, controlling the functional component and ...
