Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in Physiological Sciences, Volume 20: Advances in Animal and Comparative Physiology covers the proceedings of the symposia of the 28th International Congress of Physiology. The book discusses several studies that tackle issues about the advances in animal and comparative study. The text is comprised of 61 chapters in which Chapter 4 and the succeeding chapters are grouped into eight parts based on the topic of the studies. The opening chapter explains sensory modalities beyond human perception, while Chapter 2 discusses trends in the physiology of domesticated animals. Chapter 3 reviews muscles in living animals, which is followed by topics grouped into parts. The first part deals with fetal homeostasis, while the second part discusses control of corpora lutea function of ruminant and non-ruminant domesticated animals. The third part deals with the comparative physiology of lactation in farm animals, while the fourth part tackles digestion in non-ruminant herbivorous animals. Parts 5 and 6 cover topic on diving, which includes metabolism, physiology, and control. The seventh part discusses phylogenesis of hormones and hormone receptors, and the last part covers neuromuscular transmission in invertebrates. Researchers whose line of work concerns the physiological properties of animals will find this book as a great source of related literatures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparative Physiology of Thermoregulation, Volume III: Special Aspects of Thermoregulation attempts to do three things: It completes the taxonomic organization of the first two volumes, with a chapter on the """"primitive"""" mammals. It deals with special aspects of thermoregulation. Aquatic mammals must be considered in this category because they are the only """"warm-blooded"""" animals that live in a medium which has an enormous cooling power compared with that of air. Torpidity is a dramatic thermoregulatory phenomenon displayed by only certain groups of mammals, while the newborn mammal...

Download or read book Mammals written by G. Causey Whittow and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mammals aims to present separate accounts of the means by which each of the major groups of animals regulates its body temperature, heat production, and heat loss. Readers who wish to obtain information on thermoregulatory processes in different species will welcome this as a convenient reference work. It is hoped that the treatise will have more than convenience value. This volume comprises five chapters, with the first focusing on rodents. It discusses the thermal environment of rodents, thermal behavior, and precision of homeothermy. Chapter 2 focuses on carnivores and discusses general thermal defenses, protection against hypothermia and hyperthermia, and cold acclimation. Chapter 3 deals with body temperature, behavioral thermoregulation, and food and water intake of ungulates. Chapter 4 focuses on primates and discusses normal thermoregulation in the monkey, fever and other responses to pyrogens, and neurochemical control mechanisms in the hypothalamus. Finally, Chapter 5 discusses man's energy exchanges related to temperature and work, behavioral versus physiological temperature regulation, and a mathematical model of man's thermoregulatory system. This book will be of interest to practitioners in the fields of physiology, epidemiology, biology, neuropsychology, and public health.

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.
