المصدر: Fish Physiology by: William Stewart Hoar في منتدى : كتب طبية Fish Physiology: Sensory Systems and Electric Organs William Stewart Hoar, "Fish Physiology: Sensory Systems and Electric Organs" Academic Pr | 1971-06 | ISBN: 0123504058 | 600 pages | PDF | 10,3 MB This Volume is concerned with sensory systems and some aspects of function of the central nervous system. Sensory systems have been extensively studied in fish not only because of a wide general interest in the behavioral and sensory physiology of this group but also because, in many instances, fish are technically suitable for general studies of sensory systems and have certain receptors not present in other groups. Electroreceptors fall into this category; these receptors are unique to fishes, and studies of this system have application to receptor function in general. Electric organs, an effector rather than receptor system, are discussed in this volume because of the functional relationships between electroreception and electric organ discharge. The Mauthner neuron which is another system studied both to increase understanding of neuronal organization in fish and because the Mauthner cell constitutes a useful preparation for studying synaptic function and the integration of activity in neuronal networks in general is discussed in another chapter. Neurophysiology, particularly sensory physiology, is a very active area of biology. The chapters in this volume, perhaps more than in other volumes, can only present a summary of the present state of science in this rapidly expanding and developing field. We hope that this volume reflects some of the excitement and activity in sensory physiology and will be a useful introduction to students in this area of biology. or or :gift::gift::gift:

Fish Physiology Excretion, Ionic Regulation, and Metabolism by: William Stewart Hoar Publisher: Academic Press Number Of Pages: 465 Publication Date: 1969-06 ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0123504015 ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780123504012 PREFACE More than a decade has passed since “The Physiology of Fishes” was published under the editorship of M. E. Brown. During this period, an increasing number of physiologists and biochemists have chosen to work on fishes. These investigators have opened up many additional areas of research, have developed new concepts to explain previously conflicting phenomena, and, at the same time, have raised many engaging questions which will only be answered by further study. It is possible that some of the impetus for this burst of activity can be attributed to “The Physiology of Fishes.” “Fish Physiology,” a six-volume treatise, attempts to review recent advances in selected areas of fish physiology, to relate these advances to the existing body of earlier literature, and to delineate useful areas for further study. It is published with the hope that it will serve biologists of the 1970’s as “The Physiology of Fishes” served its readers throughout the 1960’s. Margaret Brown (Varley) found it impossible to undertake the editorial work associated with the production of this treatise, and, therefore, we agreed to assume the task. The increase in the number of volumes from the two of “The Physiology of Fishes” is not only a reflection of the rapid increase of interest in this group of animals but of their physiological diversity as well. Since the term “fishes” includes the Agnatha, Chondrichthyes, Actinopterygii, and Choanichthyes, the treatise deals with physiological mechanisms whose vertebrate phylogeny covers an expanse of 500 million years. It considers adaptive processes associated with successful living in a full range of aquatic habitats extending from the tropics to the frigid zones; it also describes primitive air-breathing systems of great diversity, the physiology of most of the vertebrate organ systems, and numerous curious devices for protection and communication. While discussing these many functional processes, the authors have referred to a wealth of comparative material so that the treatise has become more than an account of the physiology of fishes; it contains many fundamental concepts and principles important in the broad field of comparative animal physiology. It is our hope that “Fish Physiology” will prove as valuable in fisheries research laboratories as in university reference libraries and that it will be a rich source of detailed information for the comparative physiologist and the zoologist as well as the specialist in fish physiology. Taxonomists may quarrel with the lack of uniformity in the scientific terminology used throughout the treatise. We have bowed to the author’s choice in all cases and have not attempted to impose any particular classification. This decision was made after lengthy discussion and consultation with taxonomists who felt that all groups and species could be readily identified in standard reference books; this seems to be the essential requirement for the physiologist. Volume I deals with water and electrolyte balance, excretion, and some aspects of metabolism. Succeeding volumes will consider the endocrine system, reproduction, development, luminescence, chromatophores and venoms, the circulatory and respiratory systems, the nervous system and the sense organs, several aspects of fish behavior, and special adaptations to environmental change.
