Comparative Physiology Of The Heart

""Comparative Physiology of the Heart"" is a comprehensive book written by Alfred Joseph Clark that explores the physiological mechanisms of the heart across various animal species. The book covers topics such as the structure and function of the heart, the regulation of cardiac activity, and the adaptations of the heart to different environments and lifestyles. The author compares the hearts of different animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish, to provide a broad understanding of cardiac physiology. The book also discusses the evolution of the heart and the role of the heart in various physiological processes. This book is a valuable resource for students and researchers in physiology, zoology, and veterinary medicine who are interested in the comparative study of the heart.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Originally published in 1927, this book examines the composition and function of the heart in a range of animals. Clark examines how the function of the heart differs between members of the same species who are not of the same size and the differences in heart structure between cold- and warm-blooded animals.
