Vertebrates: comparative anatomy, function, evolution/ [by] Kenneth V. Kardong - 7th ed. - New York: McGraw Hill Education, c2015 - xix, 795 p. : ill. (some col.) ; 29 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Origin of Chordates -- The Vertebrate Story -- Biological Design -- Life History -- Integument -- Skeletal System: The Skull -- Skeletal System: The Axial Skeleton -- Skeletal System:The Appendicular Skeleton -- The Muscular System -- The Respiratory System -- The Circulatory System -- The Digestive System -- The Urogenital System -- The Endocrine System -- The Nervous System -- Sensory Organs.
This one-semester text is designed for an upper-level majors course. Vertebrates feature a unique emphasis on the function and evolution of vertebrates, complete anatomical detail, and excellent pedagogy. Vertebrate groups are organized phylogenetically, and their systems discussed within such a context. Morphology is foremost, but the author has developed and integrated an understanding of function and evolution into the discussion of the anatomy of the various systems
