An Introduction To Vertebrate Embryology: Based On The Study Of The Frog And The Chick (1904)

By Albert Moore Reese

Book Overview

""An Introduction to Vertebrate Embryology: Based on the Study of the Frog and the Chick"" is a comprehensive book written by Albert Moore Reese in 1904. The book is focused on the study of embryology in vertebrates, with a particular emphasis on the development of frogs and chicks. The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of embryology. The first section provides an overview of the general principles of embryology, including the structure and function of cells, tissues, and organs. The second section delves into the embryonic development of the frog, covering topics such as fertilization, cleavage, gastrulation, and organogenesis. The third section focuses on the embryonic development of the chick, including the formation of the germ layers, the development of the nervous system, and the differentiation of organs and tissues. Throughout the book, Reese provides detailed descriptions of the various stages of embryonic development, as well as illustrations and diagrams to help readers visualize the processes involved. He also discusses the evolutionary significance of embryonic development and how it has contributed to the diversity of vertebrate life. Overall, ""An Introduction to Vertebrate Embryology: Based on the Study of the Frog and the Chick"" is a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in the field of embryology. It provides a thorough introduction to the subject matter and offers a wealth of information on the development of two important model organisms, the frog and the chick.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
