THE third volume of the English version of Luciani's “Human Physiology,” translated from the Italian original published in 1913, deals with the general physiology of muscle, the mechanics of locomotion, phonation, and articulation, and the general and special physiology of the nervous system.Human Physiology.Prof. L. Luciani. Translated by F. A. Welby. Vol. iii.—Muscular and Nervous Systems. Edited by Dr. G. M. Holmes. Pp. x + 667. (London: Macmillan and Co., Ltd., 1915.) Price 18s. net.

The renin‐angiotensin system has powerful effects in control of the blood pressure and sodium homeostasis. These actions are coordinated through integrated actions in the kidney, cardiovascular system and the central nervous system. Along with its impact on blood pressure, the renin‐angiotensin system also influences a range of processes from inflammation and immune responses to longevity. Here, we review the actions of the “classical” renin‐angiotensin system, whereby the substrate protein angiotensinogen is processed in a two‐step reaction by renin and angiotensin converting enzyme, resulting in the sequential generation of angiotensin I and angiotensin II, the major biologically active renin‐angiotensin system peptide, which exerts its actions via type 1 and type 2 angiotensin receptors. In recent years, several new enzymes, peptides, and receptors related to the renin‐angiotensin system have been identified, manifesting a complexity that was previously unappreciated. While the functions of these alternative pathways will be reviewed elsewhere in this journal, our focus here is on the physiological role of components of the “classical” renin‐angiotensin system, with an emphasis on new developments and modern concepts. © 2014 American Physiological Society.

The definition of ‘conservation physiology’ is refined to be more inclusive, with an emphasis on characterizing diversity, understanding and predicting responses to environmental change and stressors, and generating solutions. The integrative discipline is focused on mechanisms and uses physiological tools, concepts, and knowledge to advance conservation and resource management.
