About the Book

This text covers the following topics in comparative and environmental physiology: gas exchange and regulation of respiration with special emphasis on the fish swimbladder and on lower vertebrates; the blood-gas transport in fish; central vascular circulation in reptiles and amphibia; and the veno-lymphatic system in amphibia and fish.

Table of Contents:
