Human Embryology & Developmental Biology

The completely revised and updated New Edition delivers comprehensive, clearly written coverage of the development of the human embryo from conception to birth. Using a classical morphological approach to embryology, it offers mechanistic explanations for both normal and abnormal human development, enabling readers to understand development in terms of cellular and molecular controls. And, a wealth of reader-friendly features make this resource exceptionally user friendly.<p></p><ul><li>Features an exceptionally reader-friendly format that includes Clinical Correlations boxes * Clinical Vignettes * timelines which highlight the progression of development * Key Molecules tables * and end-of-chapters summaries. </li><li>Uses a wealth of full-color illustrations to provide a realistic representation of developmental concepts.</li><li>New to this Edition:</li><li>Presents a new chapter that explores the fundamental aspects of molecular mechanisms in development, with coverage of important developmental molecules such as homeobox-containing genes * members of the transforming growth factor family * the fibroblast growth factor family * and the Pax genes. </li><li>Includes new content on two developmentally important molecules: sonic hedgehog and retinoic acid. </li><li>Offers updated material on left-ring asymmetry * major signaling centers in the early embryo * cross-sectional organization of the nervous system * the molecular organization of the gut * and the basis for the early establishment of the vascular system.</li></ul>
