- Summary:
- Cochard (medical education and cell and molecular biology, Northwestern U.) provides first-year medical students, dental students, and other beginning students with an atlas of human embryology that emphasizes morphological patterns in the embryo and how they relate to the organization and function of structures in the adult (with some plates of adult anatomy included), as well as the embryological basis of congenital birth defects. It contains labeled images, concise descriptions, tables, schematics, concepts, captions, summaries, and glossaries, and begins with an overview of the major developmental periods, the mechanisms of abnormal development, and the classification of anomalies, then addresses gastrulation, the vertebrate body plan, and the placenta, and each of the body systems and the head and neck region. Histological principles are briefly covered. The full text, images, and other tools are available online. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
