The first example shows how mammals coordinate the activity of all their cells using a daily rhythm. The second case explains an apparent contradiction that happens every time a woman gets pregnant and delivers a healthy baby--how the immune system tolerates a foreign tissue such as the fetus. The next case study in this book shows how bodies regulate the amount of fat using a complex interaction of proteins that function as a lipostat, a self-regulating fat maintenance system. Finally, the book provides an understanding of why some species live long lives while others die after very short lives, and under what conditions each situation is favored. What is evolutionarily adaptive about death? These four case studies provide sufficient evidence to understand how animals regulate many of their own metabolic functions. 000854006 588__ $$aTitle from PDF title page (viewed on May 14, 2016). 000854006 650_0 $$aPhysiology. 000854006 655_4 $$aLibros electronicos. 000854006 7001_ $$aParadise, Christopher J.,$$eauthor. 000854006 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9781606509852 000854006 830_0 $$aBiology collection. 000854006 852__ $$bebk 000854006 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=4512174$$zOnline Access 000854006 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:854006$$pGLOBAL_SET 000854006 980__ $$aEBOOK 000854006 980__ $$aBIB 000854006 982__ $$aEbook 000854006 983__ $$aOnline
