Gain a thorough understanding of the complex physiological events and biochemical processes--such as ionic regulation, metabolism and intracellular signalling--to decipher cause and effect in fertilization. Wide-ranging in its approach, this book describes fertilization as a highly conserved mechanism throughout the animal kingdom, taking case studies from echinoderms, ascidians, amphibians, mammals through to other phyla. An excellent companion to undergraduate and postgraduate students of medicine, veterinary and biological sciences; this text provides an underpinning of the mechanisms of fertilization that will inform assisted reproduction practice and research in medicine and agriculture. Explore the detailed phases before fertilization: the oocyte as a quiescent cell, attracting its partner gamete, followed by a cascade of pre-determined physiological events, to form the dynamic zygote cell; setting the scene for the early embryo, and beyond."--Page 4 of cover. 000851823 650_0 $$aFertilization (Biology) 000851823 650_0 $$aGerm cells. 000851823 650_0 $$aGametogenesis. 000851823 830_0 $$aCambridge medicine (Series) 000851823 85200 $$bgen$$hQH485$$i.D35$$i2018 000851823 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:851823$$pGLOBAL_SET 000851823 980__ $$aBIB 000851823 980__ $$aBOOK
