The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology

It is not an easy thing to understand the complex concepts of a developing human. All the stages of a developing human being are sequentially explained in this book to highlight the details of the development of various organs and their further growth. In addition, this book elaborates all the fundamental concepts of embryology in a very straightforward and easy to make it convenient for medical students.

Students find this subject a bit tough because of its extensive details regarding embryo development and growth. This book, the developing human, offers a great solution by organizing all the details of embryology in a comfortable format. In addition, this book provides a thorough explanation of all the details with a pictorial illustration. It describes all the details of the weeks in a very organized way associated with the normal development with their congenital abnormalities. This book covers all concepts of embryology with diagrammatic representations, summaries, clinical aspects, and keynotes.

Content details of the developing human: clinically oriented embryology

Talking about the content details of this book, it covers diverse topics of embryology related to human development and growth. It includes more than 500 illustrations, international terms, and recent improvements in the molecular aspects of developmental biology that are highlighted in italics.

This book encompasses 21 chapters, starting with the introduction to human development. Moving on, it covers the details of the first week, second week, third week, fourth to eight weeks, fetal period, and ninth week till birth. Further, it explains the placenta and fetal membranes, development of the body cavities, pharyngeal membranes, and then face and neck.

After all these structure formations, this book describes the development of various body systems like respiratory, alimentary, urogenital, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and then the formation of limbs, nervous system, ear, and eyes. This book also describes birth defects and the signaling pathways used during normal and abnormal human development.
