Comparative Physiology of the Vertebrate Kidney

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the comparative physiology of vertebrate kidneys, this second edition delves into the renal structures and functions of nonmammalian species, highlighting glomerular ultrafiltration and tubular transport mechanisms. While mammalian renal function is discussed for comparison, the primary emphasis is on nonmammalian findings and the significant questions they raise. This resource is ideal for biological scientists and advanced biology students seeking in-depth knowledge of renal function across vertebrates, as well as mammalian physiologists looking for a broader perspective.
