Book description
This brand new title provides a highly illustrated introduction to key
embryological concepts, with concise, memorable descriptions of major
embryological developments.
Embryology at a Glance
introduces the basic principles of human development, from mitosis and
meiosis, and walks you through the primary formation of each body
system, with coverage of the continued development of the respiratory
and vascular systems during the foetal and neonatal periods.
Fully geared towards the medical school curriculum, the coverage of
major steps in human development allows a better understanding of adult
anatomy, development-associated conditions, congenital abnormalities and
their treatments.
Embryology at a Glance:
-
Features full colour photographs and illustrations, including
3-dimensional illustrations where appropriate, and full labels
-
Offers 'one-stop' coverage of the skeletal, muscular,
circulatory, respiratory, nervous, reproductive, urinary,
endocrine and digestive systems
-
Highlights clinical correlations throughout
-
Includes timelines so you won't lose sight of the temporal
aspect of embryology
-
Includes Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) and Extended Matching
questions (EMQs) for revision and review
A companion website with links to the Dr Webster's embryological and
anatomical podcasts is available at: www. wiley. com/go/embryology
The clear, descriptive diagrams characteristic of the at a
Glance series will help all medical students and health
professionals develop an understanding of human development and its
implications for clinical practice.
