Description for Comparative Anatomy of the External and Middle Ear of Palaeognathous Birds
Paperback. This volume documents a comparative anatomical approach towards the functional morphology of the middle ear of pathaegnathous and basal neognathous birds. To aid the study, exact images of "non-structures" like the air-filled spaces of the avian skull are in the form of brush images. Series: Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology. Num Pages: 146 pages, 50 black & white illustrations, 4 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PSVD; PSVW6; RBX. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 8. Weight in Grams: 218.
1. 1 Objectives of this Study The vertebrate middle ear has attracted the interest of morphologists for more than a century. Its difficult structure, its complicated evolutionary derivation, and its integration of branchial, cranial, and otic materials into a single func- tional unit have made it a key organ for the understanding of vertebrate structures and their evolutionary history. Gaupp's (1898, 1913) and Reichert's (1837) comparative morphological studies of the vertebrate middle ear repre- sented milestones for anatomy in the general recognition and acceptance of Darwin's theory of evolution. These fundamental studies notwithstanding, today's knowledge of avian middle ear structures ... Read more
