Development of the Digestive Canal of the American Alligator

"Development of the Digestive Canal of the American Alligator" by A. M. Reese is a scientific exploration that deeply examines the step-by-step formation of the American alligator's digestive system, offering key information on how reptiles grow and change. Specifically written for experts in the zoology field, the publication details anatomical transformations of the alligator from its earliest form, to its more defined structure. Packed with precise illustrations and plates, the study highlights changes in major parts of the digestive systems such as the foregut, midgut, hindgut, liver and pancreas. Reese's study emphasizes structural changes at different growth stages in the reptile, providing an important resource for those in comparative anatomy, embryology, herpetology and evolutionary aspects of reptilian digestion.
