The Fundamentals of Human Embryology covers embryonic development, with a unique focus on adult anatomy. Its goal is to impart to students a comprehensive overview of how the human embryo forms, not only as a basis for the student of human anatomy, but also as a link to abnormalities they may encounter in their clinical careers. Extensively illustrated with labeled line drawings, now enlarged for better visibility, this concise manual will meet the needs of both undergraduate and postgraduate students in the Human Sciences.Special features include:Separate chapters on the neural crest, the skull and osteogenesisIn-depth coverage of head and neck embryology, including the development of the tooth, for students of dentistry, and speech and audiologyIn this Second Edition of the manual at the request of students and teachers, the authors have made the following changes:Increased the size of the diagramsRevised the text to comply with the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology changes to the Terminologia EmbryologicaAltered the sequencing of some topics to allow the development to flow more logicallyIncluded an appendix of coloured photographs of congenital abnormalities to help students form a more realistic idea of developmental abnormalities.
