Produktbeschreibung

Introduction to Mammalian Reproduction is a welcome contribution to the fields of gametogenesis, gamete transport, fertilization, and reproduction technologies. Key topics covered include:
_formation and maturation of male gametes;
_morphology and physiology of female gametes;
_how the sperm meets the egg;
_sperm-egg fusion, egg activation, and implantation of fertilized egg;
_assisted reproduction and environmental chemicals that have an effect on formation and function of male and female gametes.
This book is for both researchers and students involved in reproductive biology.
