Moreover, even  though comparative studies have clearly shown that these glands  exhibit species-dependent features, very few studies, scattered over  various publications, are available on the urogenital glands of man.  \u003cbr\u003e  This volume, the 11th of the series on  \u003cem\u003eElectron Microscopy in  Biology\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eand Medicine\u003c\/em\u003e, presents an unprecedented collection of  information on the functional microanatomy and cytoarchitecture of  these organs in humans. \u003cbr\u003e  Through the integration of transmission and scanning electron  microscopy with a variety of modern techniques, it documents the most  important aspects of the histophysiology of these glands from their  development to some pathological alterations. In order to cover some  key mechanisms of their cell biology, such as the action of sex  hormones, the epithelio-mesenchymal interactions, and the dynamic of  the secretory process, reports on human organs have been supplemented  by some studies on experimental animals. \u003cbr\u003e  The outstanding level of the contributions and the quality of the  illustrations make this book, which has been compiled by some of the  world authorities on the topic, a work of reference for students,  scientists, and professionals interested in biomedical foundations of  andrology, as well as a stimulus for future research in this exciting  and relatively neglected chapter of human reproduction. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461361251\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-2624-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x203cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 201\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47662042710156,"sku":"9781461361251","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461361251.jpg?v=1776435780","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461361251","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
