Description for Fundamental Structural Aspects and Features in the Bioengineering of the Gas Exchangers
Paperback. Presenting some of the fundamental structural aspects in the design of respiratory organs, this text considers when, how and why these states were founded. Its main thesis is that modern gas exchangers are products of processes that have entailed adaptation to specific environments and lifestyles. Series: Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology. Num Pages: 129 pages, 158 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: MJL; PSVD; PSX. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 7. Weight in Grams: 430.
The history of biology is replete with examples of how comparative biology helped clarify the meaning of structure and function in complex animals. Indeed, without the comparative approach to biology, the birth of physiology would have been delayed. Fishman (1979) Comparative morphologists are challenged to discern the changes that have occurred in evolution and development of the forms and states of organisms as well as to explain the factors that compelled them (e.g. Dullemeijer 1974). The main objective of this contribution is to present what I deem to be some of the fundamental structural aspects in the design of respiratory ... Read more
