Flight -- Development -- Qualitative Morphology -- Quantitative Morphology (Morphometry) -- Comparative Respiratory Morphology.In biology, few organs have so eluded understanding as the lung-air sac system of birds. Considerable progress recently has been made in filling the gaps in knowledge, however. While summarizing and building on earlier observations and ideas, this book provides cutting-…
Medulla -- Hair Cortex and Hair Cuticle -- Inner Root Sheath -- Outer Root Sheath and Companion Layer -- Hair Bulb and Papilla.Each and every hair is much more than just the visible shaft—there are also associated complex sheath structures of epidermal and dermal origin. In the hair follicle, cells undergo a variety of differentiation processes, mostly depending on their layers and positions …
