Description for Biological Rhythms
Hardcover. This book focuses on the evolution and basic features of the biorhythms in organisms, deals with the circadian system at the genetic, molecular and cellular levels and describes the mechanisms involved in the perception and light entrainment of the biological clock in vertebrates and invertebrates. Editor(s): Kumar, V. Num Pages: 254 pages, 41 black & white illustrations, 6 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PSF; PSVD; PSX. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational.

(Chapters 11 to 14) summarise important features of the biological clock at the level of whole animal covering all vertebrate classes (fish to mammal). Chapters 15 and 16 are on long term (seasonal) rhythms in plants and higher vertebrates. Short term rhythms (ultradian rhythms), the significance of having a clock system in animals living in extreme (arctic) environments, and the diversity of circadian responses to melatonin, the key endocrine element involved in regulation of biological rhythms, have been discussed in Chapters 17 to 19. Finally, a chapter on sensitivity to light of the photoperiodic clock is added which, using vertebrate ... Read more
