Animal Physiology: From Genes to Organisms
Author:Lauralee Sherwood, Hillar Klandorf, Paul Yancey
Edition:2nd Edition
Integrating molecular biology with whole-organism function, this text develops an understanding of how physiological systems maintain balance and respond to environmental change. It connects cellular processes, signaling, and organ systems to concepts like homeostasis, adaptation, and coordination across living organisms.
