One of the prerequisites for survival is the ability of cells to
maintain their volume. Thus, during the course of evolution cells
have "learned" a variety of strategies to achieve volume
homeostasis. This volume regulatory machinery involves regulation
of both, cellular metabolism and cellular transport and is
exploited by hormones and transmitters to regulate
cellularfunction. This book to illustrates the complex interplay of
cell volume regulatory mechanisms and cellular function in a
variety of tissues. However, our knowledge is still far from being
conclusive, and the present collection of reviews is thought to
foster further experimental efforts to unravel the role of cell
volume in the integrated function of cells.
Advances in Compararative and Environmental Physiology helps
biologists, physiologists, and biochemists keep track of the
extensive literature in the field. Providing comprehensive,
integrated reviews and sound, critical, and provocative summaries,
this series is a "must" for all active researchers in environmental
and comparative physiology. Cellular volume and osmolality in
animals is a well studied topic and this specific volume in the
series provides the reader with a thorough grounding in this area
of physiology. Consisting of two parts, the text discusses
osmolality and volume control in terms of both inorganic and
organic ions which as a result gives an excellent overview to those
working and interested in this field.
