Ontogeny and phylogeny of the functions

The idea of a parallel existing between ontogeny and phylogeny came from Aristotle and although it drew enormous prosperity through the end of the 19th century it later witnessed a disastrous fall. However, many researchers have recently taken back this proposal to reevaluate the mechanisms that create the parallel and to analyze the events from the historical and epistemological points of view. There does not currently exist any work where, one by one, the ontogeny and phylogeny of each function of the animal organism is analyzed constituting the aim of the present book. A large quantity of fascinating and interesting aspects of physiology are included in this work. It analyzes the different physiological solutions that the organisms have found in order to survive in different current terrestrial environments, the place where they evolved and the manner in which their ontogenetic development occurred. Trying to analyze in detail every aspect of physiology in the adult, its evolution and its embryology would be a never ending chore, thus this book only gives a general view of this field. The work attempts to advance with a perfectible investigation, hoping to reach a definitive and final explanation in time. We hope that the critics of students in other professional fields will help us to extend and improve our research.
