Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of the life supporting processes in animals is known as animal physiology. It examines the regulation, integration and functioning of biological processes under various environmental conditions. The study of animal physiology is closely linked with anatomy. The study of the size, structure and shape of animals falls under the field of morphology. It is the study of the biological form and arrangement of the organs of the animals. It generally focuses on the bones, muscles, nerves and blood vessels which constitute the bodies of animals. The topics included in this book on animal physiology and morphology are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book. Coherent flow of topics, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make it an invaluable source of knowledge.

Download or read book Animal Biology Taxonomy Anatomy and Physiology written by Adalina Woodbury and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-07 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of the animal kingdom that comprises of an analysis of the structure, evolution, embryology, classification, habits and distribution of animals is under the scope of animal biology or zoology. It incorporates the disciplines of comparative anatomy, animal physiology, taxonomy, zoography, vertebrate and invertebrate zoology, etc. Animals are classified into distinct groups based on shared characteristics. The branch of science concerned with the identification, description, nomenclature and classification of animals is known as taxonomy. Anatomy deals with the structural organization of all animals. The focus of physiology is to understand how the different structures of the organism such as cells, biomolecules, organs and organ systems execute the various physical and chemical functions essential to the organism. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of animal biology. It unfolds the innovative aspects of the study of taxonomy, anatomy and physiology, which will be crucial for the progress of this field in the future. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and post graduate students as well as experts.
Download or read book Respiratory Biology of Animals written by Steven F. Perry and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-26 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oxygen uptake for metabolic energy demand and the elimination of the resulting carbon dioxide is one of the essential processes in all higher life forms; in the case of animals, everything from protozoans to insects and vertebrates including humans. Respiratory Biology of Animals provides a contemporary and truly integrative approach to the topic, adopting a strong evolutionary theme. It covers aerobic metabolism at all levels, from gas exchange organs such as skin, gills, and lungs to mitochondria - the site of cellular respiration. The book also describes the functional morphology and physiology of the circulatory system, which often contains gas-carrying pigments and is important for pH regulation in the organism. A final section describes the evolution of animal respiratory systems. Throughout the book, examples are selected from the entire breadth of the animal kingdom, identifying common themes that transcend taxonomy. Respiratory Biology of Animals is an accessible supplementary text suitable for both senior undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in respiratory biology, comparative animal physiology, and environmental physiology. It is also of relevance and use to the many professional academics requiring a concise but authoritative overview of the topic.

This book was released on 2015-06-27 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of the Comparative Physiology and Morphology of Animals So many books have recently come out, and are still coming out, on zoology and biology that it seems necessary that I should say something of the reasons for this one. Nearly all the books now coming out are devoted, and rightly so, to practical laboratory methods, and especially to the study of selected types. This method, first introduced by Rolleston and rendered popular by Huxley, was a reaction against the barrenness of the old text-book and lecture method. It was certainly timely and necessary; but there is danger that, like all reactions, it may have, and indeed has already, gone too far. Undoubtedly the teaching by types is indispensable in the early part of the course, in order to introduce the student into the true spirit and methods of science; but to continue it and "make it the main form of teaching is a serious mistake." There is serious danger that in the attempt to explore thoroughly a few small spots here and there in the field we lose sight of the general connection of all parts to one another and to the whole - that in the microscopic clearness but narrowness of our knowledge we lose that general view of the whole which alone gives significance to any knowledge.

Download or read book Ecological Morphology written by Peter C. Wainwright and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1994-08-15 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecological morphology examines the relation between an animal's anatomy and physiology—its form and function—and how the animal has evolved in and can inhabit a particular environment. Within the past few years, research in this relatively new area has exploded. Ecological Morphology is a synthesis of major concepts and a demonstration of the ways in which this integrative approach can yield rich and surprising results. Through this interdisciplinary study, scientists have been able to understand, for instance, how bat wing design affects habitat use and bat diet; how the size of a predator affects its ability to capture and eat certain prey; and how certain mosquitoes have evolved physiologically and morphologically to tolerate salt-water habitats. Ecological Morphology also covers the history of the field, the role of the comparative method in studying adaptation, and the use of data from modern organisms for understanding the ecology of fossil communities. This book provides an overview of the achievements and potential of ecological morphology for all biologists and students interested in the way animal design, ecology, and evolution interact.

Download or read book Comparative Animal Physiology written by Philip Carew Withers and published by Cengage Learning. This book was released on 1992 with total page 1096 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This truly comparative text takes a fundamental, biophysical approach toward animal physiology. Students majoring in zoology, biology, or premedicine will study animals ranging from simple invertebrates and protozoans to complex multicellular invertebrates and vertebrates. Emphasis on evolution shows the progressive changes, modifications, and developments of physiological systems from simple to complex animals. Comparisons show the similarities and differences in how animals function, but stress fundamentally similar adaptations in very different animals.
