Olfaction: anatomy, physiology and behavior

Olfaction: anatomy, physiology and behavior

The anatomy, physiology and function of the olfactory system are reviewed, as are the normal effects of olfactory stimulation. It is speculated that olfaction may have important but unobtrusive effects on human behavior.

Integrating Anatomy and Physiology for Behavior Modeling

In producing realistic, animatable models of the human body, we see much to be gained from developing a functional anatomy that links the anatomical and physiological behavior of the body through fundamental causal principles. This paper describes our current Finite Element Method implementation of a simplified lung and chest cavity during normal quiet breathing and then disturbed by a simple p...

Respiratory Anatomy and Physiology

The opening chapters cover muscle glycogen and endurance exercise, the insulin-like effects of muscle contraction, cardiovascular adaptations to endurance exercise, and the relationship between cardiovascular drugs and exercise. These chapters satisfactorily describe the methods involved in quantitating present and past data from animal and human studies. Wisely, the authors' conclusions from a...

Lens Anatomy and Physiology

Cataracts are opacities within the lens that may affect a small portion of the lens or the entire lens. Cataracts are a leading cause of blindness in dogs. They may be due to hereditary factors, metabolic diseases, inflammation, or other causes. A thorough ophthalmic and physical examination, complete blood cell count, biochemical evaluation, electroretinography, and ocular ultrasonography shou...
