Principles of animal physiology 3rd edition

We are strongly committed to the importance of teaching about the physiological diversity of animals, because we feel that this diversity is a fundamental property of the natural world. To assist with the integration of material across chapters, many chapters feature a new Looking Back section that identifies the critical background material found in earlier chapters.ДЄn Emphasis on Animal Diversity and Evolution. To promote comprehension, each chapter begins with Learning Objectives that connect directly with the headings in the chapter and with the Review Questions at the end of the chapter. Physiological processes are homeostatically regulated.Д®very chapter revisits these key themes, providing a unifying thread that ties together our concept of animal physiology.Physiological diversity among animals is the result of evolutionary processes.Physiological processes have their basis in the laws of chemistry and physics.Physiology integrates across levels of biological organisation from molecules to populations.In chapter 1, we introduce four unifying themes in animal physiology: To help students get past this difficult barrier, the authors have organised this book around several key themes and fundamental principles that are highlighted in each chapter throughout this book, and strove to present this material in an accessible fashion that engages student learning.ДЄ Focus on Unifying Principles.
