Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : "L'ouvrage traite, de façon exhaustive, des différentes fonctions qui sous-tendent la vie des animaux. Chacune d'elles est appréhendée à l'échelle des organismes, dans ses manifestations visibles extérieurement (comportementales notamment), mais aussi à l'échelle des appareils et organes qui en sont les sites d'expression et à celle des cellules — avec une incursion pointue dans les signalisations intracellulaires mises en jeu, les intermédiaires moléculaires sollicités, les gènes qui en détiennent l'information et les contrôles qui s'exercent dans le cadre du maintien de l'homéostasie. Des contenus accessibles, actuels et exacts : L'ouvrage est conçu selon un format logique et est enrichi de multiples exemples. De l'information pertinente basée sur des découvertes récentes, ainsi que de nouvelles méthodologies de recherche ont été incluses dans chacun des chapitres. Des idées controversées et des hypothèses sont également présentées pour illustrer le fait que la physiologie est une discipline dynamique et évolutive. De la globalité à la spécificité : La physiologie est replacée dans le contexte de l'évolution animale, avec le souci permanent de mettre l'accent sur le fait que chaque concept est un élément incontournable qui s'intègre dans le sujet considéré dans sa globalité. Des efforts particuliers ont été faits pour assurer une lecture fluide avec des transitions aisées, un raisonnement logique et l'intégration d'idées clés et fondamentales à travers l'intégralité de l'ouvrage."

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The diversity of antigen-binding structures of antibody molecules is so vast that every conceivable antigen can be bound by an antibody molecule within the immune system. This is true even for the antigen binding sites of antibodies called idiotypes, which are bound by complementary bind ing sites of other antibodies called anti-idiotypes. Thus, anti-idiotypes are structural homologues of antigens. These idiotypic-anti-idiotypic interactions constitute a network within the immune system. Since one lymphocyte produces only one type of antibody molecule, this network is in fact a network of cells. We expect that the network is functional: the appearance of antigen will disturb the equilibrium of the network at the point where it competes with the anti idiotypic lymphocyte for binding to the idiotypic lympho cyte. It has been known for quite some time that anti idiotypic antibody can be used to prime the immune system for memory to an antigen that it has never seen. This phe nomenon is now being explored for possible use in immuni zation against viruses, bacteria, parasites and tumors as well as for the modulation of autoimmunity. The ability of anti-idiotypes to mimic, both antigenically and function ally, the corresponding biologically active molecules seen by an idiotypic antibody was first demonstrated for the hormone insulin and is now being observed in many other systems. The papers assembled in this volume· bring the reader to the cutting edge of the potential practical applica tions of the network theory of the immune system.

Download or read book A Companion to Animal Physiology written by C. Richard Taylor and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1982-04-30 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1982, this book was designed to supplement Knut Schmidt-Nielsen's Animal Physiology. Using Schmidt-Nielsen's comparative approach to the study of animal form function, the text pursues in greater detail topics introduced in Animal Physiology. Like the textbook, the Companion is organised according to major environmental features: oxygen, food and energy, temperature, and water, concluding with a section on movement and structure. The papers brought together in this volume were presented in July 1980 to honour Smith-Nielsen's sixty-fifth birthday, at the Fifth International Conference on Comparative Physiology, held in Sandbjerg, Denmark.

Download or read book Comparative Animal Biochemistry written by Klaus Urich and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1994-09-16 with total page 810 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There exists an extreme variability in the biochemical properties of animal organisms. Each species, each individual, in fact each cell type of a multicellular animal has its own molecular characters. This advanced text- and reference book deals with the molecular structures of body substances and the chemical processes of metabolism for the first time throughout the whole animal kingdom from the protozoans to the higher vertebrates. The biochemical variation is explained as adaptation to particular environmental conditions or as the result of phylogenetic diversification. The fascinating insights into the fundamental mechanisms and the time course of evolution that have been gained by the analysis of molecular data are extensively described. More than 4600 actual references give the reader access to the original literature.

Download or read book Animal as Machine written by Michel Anctil and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2022-04-15 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the ages natural historians have puzzled over how animals work, wavering between a vitalist belief in a soul animating bodily functions and a mechanistic outlook in which animal body parts are seen as pieces of organic machinery. Animal as Machine explores the life, work, and ideas of scientists who, branding themselves as physiologists, subscribed to mechanistic concepts to explain how animals acquire and process food, breathe, circulate their blood, and sense their environment. As medical physiology thrived in the nineteenth century, zoologists struggled to forge their own distinctive physiology predicated on understanding animal functions in a context of environmental adaptation and evolutionary forces. Physiological schools with distinct emphases that shaped their outlook sprang up around the world. Dividing their time between fieldwork in marine stations and laboratory experimentation, animal physiologists stood in awe of the diversity and ingenuity of the functional strategies by which animals survived. Animal as Machine tells a remarkable and insightful story of the larger-than-life personalities and gripping historical episodes that marked the emergence and blossoming of animal physiology.

Download or read book Comparative Physiology Natural Animal Models and Clinical Medicine written by Michael Allan Singer and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes a novel and unique approach to the treatment of human diseases based on the study of natural animal models. A natural animal model is defined as an animal group or species that possesses a set of biochemical/physiological characteristics which are natural and adaptive for that animal, but are quite abnormal for humans. For example, how is it that birds can tolerate blood glucose concentrations which in humans are associated with diabetes. The natural animal model is living proof that a biological answer to this question is available. By studying natural animal models, we can gain valuable insights into the treatment of various human clinical disorders. Covering a wide range of disorders, this book describes in detail how medical scientists can take advantage of all the "research" that nature has already performed over billions of years in biological problem solving through extensive animal design testing and selection.

Download or read book Eckert Animal Physiology written by David J. Randall and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2002 with total page 814 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic animal physiology text focuses on comparative examples that illustrate the general principles of physiology at all levels of organisation—from molecular mechanisms to regulated physiological systems to whole organisms in their environment. This textbook is an authoritative and complete guide to the field of animal physiology which uses a threefold approach to teaching. The Comparative Approach emphasises basic mechanisms but allows patterns of physiological function in different species to demonstrate how evolution creates diversity. This approach encourages students to appreciate the underlying principles that govern physiological systems. The Experimental Emphasis helps students to understand the process of scientific discovery and shows how our knowledge of physiology continually increases and finally the Integrative Approach presents information about specific physiological systems at all levels of organisation, from molecular interactions to interactions between an organism and its environment.n included.
