A fully renewed classic of animal physiology--comprehensive, modern, and accessible
For decades, Heinz Penzlin's German Textbook of Animal Physiology has been a cornerstone of academic biological education. In this first English edition, Jan-Peter Hildebrandt, Horst Bleckmann, and Uwe Homberg present a thoroughly revised and updated, contemporary version of this authoritative work. This edition offers students the current state of knowledge in general and comparative animal physiology, reflecting the tremendous scientific advances of recent years.
This integrative discipline is essential for all students in the life sciences--whether in advanced bachelor's courses or master's programs--who explore functional anatomy, vegetative and metabolic physiology, neurobiology, sensory and muscle physiology, as well as ecological, systemic-comparative, or molecular perspectives. The textbook systematically explains how physiological processes operate across the animal kingdom and how organisms adjust to diverse environmental challenges.
The new edition features:
From cell physiology to the functioning of entire organ systems--circulatory, respiratory, digestive, excretory, and more--this volume offers a clear, integrated insight into the mechanisms underlying animal life.
A modern classic, fully reimagined: authoritative, engaging, and indispensable for students of biology and related fields.
