The Fundamentals of Human Embryology covers embryonic development, with a unique focus on adult O
anatomy. Its goal is to impart to students a comprehensive overview of how the human embryo forms, G
not only as a basis for the student of human anatomy, but also as a link to abnormalities they may Y
encounter in their clinical careers. Extensively illustrated with labeled line drawings, now enlarged for 2 better visibility, this concise manual will meet the needs of both undergraduate and postgraduate students n d
in the Human Sciences. E d i t i Special features include: o n • Separate chapters on the neural crest, the skull and osteogenesis • In-depth coverage of head and neck embryology for students of dentistry and speech and audiology J
• A section on tooth development is directed at students of dentistry. o h n
In this Second Edition of the manual the authors have made the following changes: A l l
• Increased the size of the diagrams a • Revised the text to comply with the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology n
a
changes to the Terminologia Embryologica n • Altered the sequencing of some topics to allow the narrative to flow more logically d
B
• Included an appendix of coloured photographs of congenital abnormalities to help students form a e v
more realistic idea of developmental abnormalities. e r l e y
