Description
"Essential Reproduction" provides an integrated approach to the study of mammalian reproduction, spanning the disciplines of anatomy, physiology, endocrinology, immunology, genetics, and obstetrics and gynaecology. It offers the ideal text for undergraduates in medicine and veterinary medicine, as well as zoology. The book includes a discussion on all aspects of male reproduction, female cyclicity, pregnancy, parturition, post natal care and fertility control. This edition has been completely updated and the chapter on the regulation of gonadal function has been rewritten. It is strongly scientific, taking evidence from both human and other mammalian species.
