Various endogenous and environmental challenges of homoiostasis
have resulted in the evolution of apparently quite different
mechanisms for the same or similar functions in individual
representatives of the animal kingdom. One of the prominent
achievements of comparative physiology over the last few decades
has been the description of regula- tory features common to many
studied species beyond the extreme diversity of their morphological
forms. Delineation of functional princi- ples universally
applicable to the physiology and biochemistry of living systems
became often possible through technical advances in the devel-
opment of numerous new techniques, in many cases modified and
adopted from other fields of science, but also by approaching
certain problems using multifactorial analysis. The advance in
technology has facilitated studies of minute functional details of
mechanisms, which finally lead to better understanding of generally
similar functions, covered by the multiple developments of Nature
as a response to an extreme variety of different conditions.
Improved understanding of specific mechanisms, however, has
presented new problems at the level of system integration. The
importance of the integrative aspect became particularly apparent
during an international symposium on 'Mecha- nisms of Systemic
Regulation in Lower Vertebrates: Respiration, Circu- lation, Ion
Transfer and Metabolism' (organized in 1990 by Norbert Heisler and
Johannes Piiper at the Max-Planck-Institut flir experimen- telle
Medizin at Gottingen/Germany).
