The Elements Of Animal Physiology (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163763773)

The Elements of Animal Physiology is a comprehensive textbook written by William A. Osborne. The book covers the fundamental principles of animal physiology, including the structure and function of cells, tissues, and organs, as well as the physiology of the major organ systems such as the nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and reproductive systems.The book is divided into several sections, each addressing a specific aspect of animal physiology. The first section provides an introduction to the field of animal physiology, including the history of the discipline, the scientific method, and the basic principles of cell biology. The second section covers the physiology of the nervous system, including the structure and function of neurons, synapses, and neural circuits. The third section covers the endocrine system, including the structure and function of hormones and their effects on target tissues.The fourth section covers the cardiovascular system, including the structure and function of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. The fifth section covers the respiratory system, including the structure and function of the lungs and how they exchange gases with the environment. The sixth section covers the digestive system, including the structure and function of the digestive tract and the processes of digestion and absorption. The final section covers the reproductive system, including the structure and function of the male and female reproductive systems and the processes of fertilization and development.Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationships between structure and function in animal physiology. The book also includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help students visualize complex physiological processes. Overall, The Elements of Animal Physiology is an essential textbook for students of animal physiology and related fields, as well as a valuable reference for professionals in the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
