The discussion covers blood circulation, cardiac cycle, and a special section on the function of the heartbeat in the spider Limulus showing that stimulation of the abdominal ganglia increases the heartbeats. The book then discusses the role of the internal environment and that of the interstitial body fluid in the higher animals. The effects of nutrition and energy such as the intake of food, water, oxygen, and the calculation of basic metabolic rates are explained. The text discusses the response mechanisms of living organisms from nerve impulses, chemical sense, muscle reaction, and includes some studies made on brain function. This book emphasizes two aspects - the changes of physiological patterns in the course of development and the wide variation that can be found within a species. Introduction to Animal Physiology and Physiological Genetics, deals with topics on physiological measurement, comparisons, and analysis of the role of genotypes. If this can stimulate the readers to use other methods that those they are routinely using the goals will be met. If this can stimulate the readers to use ideas to draw the survey of possibilities available. It was really one of our ideas to draw the survey of possibilities available. It can be traced throughout the book that would enable the readers to go in more detail when desired. We hope, at least, that crucial references can be traced throughout the book that would enable the readers to go in more detail when desired. However, let them look at other chapters in which different approaches are discussed and which, surely, will appear less superficial from the more general point of view. The specialists may, perhaps, object that in their particular field the level of information is superficial. The aim of the present volume was to give an overview over different available methodological approaches. The book covers and explains the following deeply: o Nature and Scope of Physiology o Body Fluids: Water, Electrolyte and Acid Base Balance o Respiration o Blood o Circulatory System o Structure & Functions of the Kidney o Rumen Function o Digestion & Metabolism o Vitamins and Minerals o Endocrine Glands and Their Secretions o Reproduction in the Male o Female Reproduction o Lactation o Nervous System o Bone, Skin and Special Senses o Physiology of Temperature Regulation Physiology has now grown into a vast discipline. Where appropriate, examples from human and non domestic animals such as rat and rabbit have been cited. In all s, the aim has been to present a clear and concise account of the functioning of various systems of domestic animals. This text book on Physiology of Animals is intended to be useful for elementary animal physiology course in colleges of agriculture, zoology, veterinary and animal sciences.
