Features: This atlas primarily features hand-drawn illustrations by the world-famous Dr. Frank H. Netter, combined with concise text, to comprehensively, systematically, and vividly demonstrate the complex process of human embryonic development. The book consistently focuses on the morphogenesis during embryonic development and places great emphasis on the relationship between the embryonic development of various structures and their functions, as well as congenital anomalies. In addition to annotations for the illustrations, the book includes several tables, diagrams, summaries, and at the end of each chapter, it provides a summary and explanation of professional terminology, which effectively helps readers understand embryological knowledge.
Target Audience: Medical students, graduate students and teachers in embryology and related fields
This book focuses on analyzing all important events and processes in the normal and abnormal development of the human body before birth, laying a solid foundation for more in-depth and effective relearning and conducting related research. For medical students who are new to embryology, this atlas is an ideal companion to an embryology textbook and also an excellent review material. Through over 600 images, diagrams, tables, and concise text, the book vividly interprets the complex process of embryonic development, particularly emphasizing the morphological changes of the embryo. It also explains some complex structures in adults that are closely related to embryonic development from the perspective of embryogenesis, clarifying the relationship between embryonic primordia and their derived structures, thereby providing an embryological basis for the development of each organ system in the human body. Additionally, the book introduces basic principles of histology, the classification of congenital defects, and important concepts in cellular, molecular, and genetic aspects, such as tissue induction, apoptosis, growth factors, genetic patterns, and genetic determination. The images in the book are primarily from Dr. Netter's series of (monographs). This series integrates fundamental and clinical knowledge in anatomy, embryology, physiology, and pathology.
Features of the Book: Full-color illustrations, series diagrams, concise tables; each chapter includes a glossary of professional terms; key concepts are explained with illustrations; an appendix at the end summarizes major congenital anomalies and their embryological foundations.
