Description
This popular text makes it surprisingly easy to gain an in-depth understanding of human embryology. Engaging and richly illustrated, it
examines all aspects of human development, emphasizing both basic concepts and relevant clinical problems. The book presents a week-by-week
and stage-by-stage view of how fetal organs and systems develop, why and when birth defects occur, and what roles the placenta and fetal
membranes play in development. The comprehensively updated 8th edition comes with access to the complete contents online via Student
Consult, plus 18 phenomenal embryology animations, additional review questions and answers, and more.
Audience
Medical students, advanced degree nursing students
