Vertebrates: Structures and Functions (Biological Systems in Vertebrates)

Functional Morphology of the Vertebrate Respiratory Systems. This book deals with reproduction of Amphibians belonging to three extant orders: Caecilians, Salamanders, Frogs and Toads. Separate chapters have been written for males and females; the chapters describe gonad structure and development, gametogenesis, urogenital connections, and reproductive Describing the diversity and features of various vertebrate groups, ranging from the oldest living fishes to the relatively more recent evolution of mammals, this book covers anatomical systems including organs and tissues, as well as their function and differentiation in various vertebrate groups.

Gives an account of the morphologies of vertebrate respiratory organs and attempts to explicate the basis of the common and different structural and functional designs and stratagems that have evolved for acquisition of molecular oxygen. The book has been written with a broad readership in mind: Dynamical innovation of vertebrate form: Thermogenesis in the origination of the avian body plan After the emergence of the vertebrates animals with segmented backbones , the tetrapods vertebrates with paired limbs and the amniotes tetrapods that develop in an intra-egg sac , the possibility of further body plan innovation was still not exhausted.
