Presenting coverage of the central topics in human embryology, this study incorporates the latest data from ongoing embryonic investigations. The edition, revised and extended, provides a detailed overview of general and systematic development, referring throughout to the internationally-recognized Carnegie system of embryonic staging. It features figures, photographs, micrographs and 3-dimensional reconstructions depicting vital aspects of morphology and histology; with actual case examples of specific congenital anomalies. The text also contains numerous tables that organize such critical data as the initial appearances of main features in relation to embryonic length, age and stage.
