The Cardiovascular System: Design, Control and Function

The Cardiovascular System: Design, Control and Function, Volume 36A, a two volume set, not only provides comprehensive coverage of the current state of knowledge in this very active and growing field of research, but also highlights the tremendous diversity in cardiovascular morphology and function and the anatomical and physiological plasticity shown by fish taxa that are faced with various abiotic and biotic challenges. In addition, chapters integrate molecular and cellular data with the growing body of knowledge on heart and in vivo cardiovascular function, and as a result, provide insights into some of the most important questions that still need to be answered. Presents a comprehensive overview of cardiovascular structure and function in fishCovers topics in a way that is ideal for researchers in fish physiology and for audiences within the fields of comparative morphology, histology, aquaculture and ecophysiologyProvide insights into some of the most important questions that still need to be answered INDICE: 1.
