Как работает организм животного

The book by the English physiologist Knut Schmidt-Nielsen, known for his research in the field of comparative and ecological physiology, is devoted to the mechanism of operation of some animal body systems.
The author shows how the use of the principle of countercurrent allows the body of vertebrates to save or dissipate the heat generated in it, reduce energy costs, maintain a favorable water balance, and intensify breathing.
The book is intended primarily for students of biological faculties and teachers of biology, but it may also be useful to specialists - biologists and engineers working in the field of bionics, as well as to all those who are simply interested in biology.
