camel physiology

[majid]

Hello every one,

I am searching for camel physiology that includes the adaptation systems of camel on hot environment and its efficient use of water. How the respiratory, alimentary, urinary, and other systems do work to adapt camel on this situation. the water utilization, water conservation, hydration, dehydration, camel other sources of water, water turnover, high electrolytes diet effect and how can be controlled, how is renal function reduce water loss, urea metabolism and acid base balance.

Please, if any one has information about these topics, help me.

camels evolved in a semi-desert environment, they have developed sophisticated physiological adaptations for coping with both heat and dehydration.All camels have a complex, 3-compartmented stomach. In fact, they are more efficient at feed conversion than are ruminants in extracting protein and energy from poor quality forages.
