Obstetrics & Gynecology represents all areas of this discipline distributed proportionally over primary preventive care, obstetrics, including maternal-fetal medicine, gynecology, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, and gynecologic oncology.
Covering a wide range of topics on snake reproduction and phylogeny, this comprehensive book discusses everything from primordial germ migration in developing embryos to semelparity (death after reproduction) in the aspic viper.
In State of Wonder, pharmaceutical researcher Dr. Marina Singh sets off into the Amazon jungle to find the remains and effects of a colleague who recently died under somewhat mysterious circumstances. But first she must locate Dr. Anneck Swenson, a renowned gynecologist who has spent years looking at the reproductive habits of a local tribe where women can conceive well into their middle ages and beyond.
The reproductive organs and mating biology of angiosperms exhibit greater variety than those of any other group of organisms. Flowers and inflorescences are also the most diverse structures produced by angiosperms, and floral traits provide some of the most compelling examples of evolution by natural selection. Given that flowering plants include roughly 250,000 species, their reproductive diversity will not be explained easily by continued accumulation of case studies of individual species. Instead a more strategic approach is now required, which seeks to identify general principles concerning the role of ecological function in the evolution of reproductive diversity.
Humans, like all other animals, reproduce and the process is no less fascinating. Our reproductive and endocrine systems are key components in the continuation of the human race. Learn about the male and female reproductive organs, and study key reproductive functions such as the ovarian cycle and fertilization of an egg. The reproductive process is illustrated with vivid graphics. Learn also about how the endocrine system works in conjunction with the reproductive system.
