Fish Larval Physiology

Fish Larval Physiology

Editors : Roderick Nigel Finn , B.G. Kapoor
Edition : 1st edition


Book Description:

To study physiology is to examine how organisms have evolved solutions to the business of living in an inanimate world. Our world is and has always been dominated by physical and chemical forces. A physicist might tell us that all things are physical, while a chemist is more concerned with the elementary nature of reactions. A physical chemist sees the bonds between these views, and a biochemist draws out the organic symphony of the vital pathways. A structural biologist adds shape to the chemical building blocks of life, while a molecular biologist tinkers with these structures.

This book is intended as a resource for students and researchers interested in developmental biology and physiology and specifically addresses the larval stages of fish. Fish larvae (and fish embryos) are not small juveniles or adults. Rather they are transitionary organisms that bridge the critical gap between the singlecelled egg and sexually immature juvenile. Fish larvae represent the stage of the life cycle that is used for differentiation, feeding and distribution.

This book aims at providing a single-volume treatise that explains how fish larvae develop and differentiate, how they regulate salt, water and acid-base balance, how they transport and exchange gases, acquire and utilise energy, how they sense their environment, and move in their aquatic medium, how they control and defend themselves, and finally how they grow up.

Review of Vete­rinary Phisiol­ogy

Review of Veterinary Physiology

Book Description:   

All body systems including body fluids, neuromuscular, respiratory, cardiovascular, renal, GI, endocrine and reproductive physiology are covered in this 147 chapter, 1500 question style format. Each topic contains 5 to 10 questions that examine physiologic concepts and integrated processes. The organization of the topics, a table of contents and an extensive index allow the user to easily access topics of interest. The multiple choice questions are in a similar format to those used in certifying and board examinations, including those used by the Professional Examination Service. Each question is accompanied by the correct answer along with a detailed explanation about why that answer is correct, and why the others are not. Answers are positioned right after the question, so the user does not have to flip back and forth between pages. There are extra note pages at the end of each chapter. Written for veterinary students who wish to organize and test their thinking in physiology, for interns and resi-dents preparing for their specialty board examinations, for graduate students in physiology, biochemistry, phar-macology, bioengineering, animal science and nutrition, and for practicing veterinarians who wish to test their knowledge of organ system physiology.

Medical History and Physical Examination in Companion Animals 2nd Edition

 Medical History and Physical Examination in Companion Animals 2nd Edition
Publisher: Saunders Ltd.; 2 edition (September 16, 2008)

Book Description:  

The medical history and physical examination are the most important cornerstones of clinical diagnosis. This is the only veterinary book devoted to a description of methods applicable to companion animals. The methods described are used in the veterinary schools of Utrecht (the Netherlands) and Ghent (Belgium), but their effectiveness and usefulness is recognized by many visiting staff members and students from other veterinary schools in Europe and North America. Central to the book is the concept that the examination should be as efficient as possible. The descriptions of the examination are very detailed and enhanced with many high quality colour illustrations. The accompanying DVD includes video clips of a variety of examinations and forms (in PDF format) that can be used for determining the results when carrying out the medical history and physical examination in companion animals.

Janeway's Immunobiology

Janeway's Immunobiology
By  Kenneth M. Murphy 
8th Edition

Book Description:   

Janeway's Immunobiology is a textbook that introduces the immune system in all its aspects to undergraduates, and also provides a treatment of the subject that is comprehensive enough to be useful to graduate students interested in research, and to medical students focused on clinical applications. The Eighth Edition has been thoroughly revised and updated. Janeway's Immunobiology continues to set the standard for currency and authority with its clear writing style and organization, uniform art program, and scientific accuracy. It presents a consistent point of view throughout—that of the host's interaction with an environment containing many species of potentially harmful microorganisms. The full-color art program is conceptually coherent and illustrates the processes and mechanisms underlying the concepts in the text. The 16 chapters in this readable, accessible textbook are organized and presented in such a way as to help deliver a complete one-semester immunology course, beginning with innate immunity, then moving to adaptive immunity, and ending with applied clinical immunology.

Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology

Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology
By Leon Neumann, Sophie Meier
1st Edition

Book Description: 


Brucellosis is one of the most important zoonotic diseases world-wide. This book focuses on host natural resistance and innate immunity against Brucella infection. The impact of Johne's disease, a chronic, granulomatous enteritis of ruminants and some wild-type species is examined as well. In addition, the molecular and cellular mechanisms of DNA vaccines are addressed in this book, as well as the optimisation strategies that are currently pursued to harness the therapeutic and commercial advantages of DNA vaccination. Moreover, immune responses may substantially differ between conventional laboratory antigens and microbial ones. This book focuses on the experimental pulmonary tuberculosis as a convenient in vivo model to study the disease, providing important advantages over other models. Other chapters examine the defence mechanisms of several flatfish species, which is a main priority to prevent economic losses. The role of the intestine in the immune response in all vertebrates is examined as well, including its cellular components.
