The Cardiovascular System: Phenotypic and Physiological Responses

The Cardiovascular System: Phenotypic and Physiological Responses, Volume 36B, part of a two volume set, provides comprehensive coverage of the current state of knowledge in this very active and growing field of research, also highlighting the tremendous diversity in cardiovascular morphology and function among the various fish taxa and the anatomical and physiological plasticity shown by this system when faced with various abiotic and biotic challenges. Finally, chapters integrate molecular and cellular data with the growing body of knowledge on heart and in vivo cardiovascular function, and as a result, provide insights into some of the most interesting, and important, questions that still need to be answered in this field. Presents a comprehensive overview of cardiovascular structure and function in fishProvides a valuable resource for researchers in fish physiology and audiences within the fields of comparative morphology and histology, aquaculture and ecophysiologyHighlights the tremendous diversity in cardiovascular morphology and function among the various fish taxa INDICE: 1.
