Recent advances, based on refined biochemical, histochemical and ultrastruc-tural techniques, have added much to the concepts of visceral innervation. Years of experience in teaching and research have gone into the writing of this concise volume on the autonomic nervous system. In preparing this text an effort has been made to update the literature already available, incorporate recent research, present new attitudes, and indicate what appears to be the coming trend.
Extensive coverage is given to the most recent advances concerning the mechanism of synthesis, release, and inactivation of neurotransmitters at neuroeffector junctions in the viscera. Every effort has been made to integrate anatomy, physiology and pharmacology in order to present the subject in a unified and logically organized manner. A unique feature of this book is the abundant use of anatomical illustrations as well as physiological and biochemical schemata which will help the reader to grasp the subject more thoroughly and easily.
This book should be on the desk of every medical student and person wanting to learn about the anatomy and physiology of the autonomic nervous system. It will also serve as a valuable aid for teachers in the field who want to emphasize the use of a concept and reasoning rather than a subject matter and fact approach to their teaching.
