Sturkie's Avian Physiology is the classic comprehensive single volume on the physiology of domestic as well as wild birds. The Fifth Edition is thoroughly revised and updated, and includes new chapters on the physiology of incubation and growth. Chapters on the nervous system and sensory organs have been greatly expanded due to the many recent advances in the field. The text also covers the physiology of flight, reproduction in both male and female birds, and the immunophysiology of birds. The Fifth Edition, like the earlier editions, is a must for anyone interested in comparative physiology, poultry science, veterinary medicine, and related fields. This volume establishes the standard for those who need the latest and best information on the physiology of birds. - Thoroughly updated and revised - Coverage of both domestic and wild birds - New larger format - Only comprehensive, single volume devoted to birds
Birds are among the most successful vertebrates on Earth. An important part of our natural environment and deeply embedded in our culture, birds are studied by more professional ornithologists and enjoyed by more amateur enthusiasts than ever before. However, both amateurs and professionals typically focus on birds' behaviour and appearance and only superficially understand the characteristics that make birds so unique. The Inner Bird introduces readers to the avian skeleton, then moves beyond anatomy to discuss the relationships between birds and dinosaurs and other early ancestors. Gary Kaiser examines the challenges scientists face in understanding avian evolution - even recent advances i...
Elektronenmikroskopischer Beitrag zur Kenntnis der Pressoreceptorenfelder und des Sinusnervs Die pressoreceptorischen Endigungen des Sinusnervs erstrecken sich in der Wand des Sinus caroticus an der Media-Adventitia-Grenze. Im End bereich der receptorischen Fasern werden die strukturarmen Schwanosehen Zellen durch verästelte, strukturreiche "Terminalzellen" ersetzt. Diese Zel len besitzen ein gut entwickeltes endoplasmatisches Retikulum, einen stark ausgebildeten Golgi-Apparat, relativ zahlreiche Mitochondrien und freie Ribosomen. In die Oberfläche der Schwannschen-und Terminalzellen haben sich Axone unter Bildung von Mesaxonen eingesenkt, die kleine (600 bis 2000 m,11) und große (6000-80...
