Additional reading
General accounts and elementary descriptions of circulatory
systems are found in many biology textbooks, including
the following: Raymond F. Oram, Biology: Living Systems,
5th ed. (1986); Karen Arms and Pamela S. Camp, Biology,
3rd ed. (1986); and Paul B. Weisz and Richard N. Keogh,
The Science of Biology, 5th ed. (1982). Textbooks dealing
with animal structure at a more advanced level include
the following: Ralph M. Buchsbaum, Animals Without Backbones,
3rd ed. (1987); Robert D. Barnes, Invertebrate Zoology,
5th ed. (1987); Alfred Sherwood Romer andThomas S. Parsons,

Weichert, Anatomy of the Chordates, 4th ed. (1970);
Knut Schmidt-Nielsen, Animal Physiology: Adaptation
and Environment, 3rd ed. (1983); and Milton Hildebrand,
