Netter's Atlas of Human Embryology: Updated Edition

By Larry R. Cochard and Angelique N. Dueñas

Book Overview

Here's a rich pictorial review of normal and abnormal human prenatal development. For each body system or region, you'll find a brief description of the developmental plan, with key concepts and terminology, followed by discussions of histological principles, the classification of congenital defects, and basic cellular, molecular, and genetic concepts. An emphasis on morphological patterns in the embryo and fetus makes it easy to understand the structure and function of the adult body and the embryonic basis of birth defectsSummary tables and terminology sections at the end of each chapter, plus an appendix with all major congenital defects and their embryonic basis, make it easy to review course material and prepare for the USMLEAccess the complete text and images online at studentconsult.com

Good Stuff

Many more pictures than commonly available in other Embryo books, which is really why anyone buys a Netter's....

Netter's Atlas of Human Embryologogy

It's about time. There has never been a more lucid account of the normal and abnormal processes of human development. Netter's illustrations combined with Cochard's succinct text and learning aids go far beyond any other books published to help further the understanding of embryology.
