| Summary |
"Several textbooks exist already that either treat the kidney together with the other organs of the body in a comparative anatomical context or are dedicated to single disciplines (e.g., ultrastructure, physiology, ...). This book presents a comprehensive study of comparative anatomy, evolutionary differentiation, functional adaptation and ontogenetic development of the renal system. This text is intended for students, teachers and researchers in the bio-medical disciplines, and, specifically, as a support for those who wish to enchance their understanding of the vertebrate excretory system."--BOOK JACKET |
