Illustrated by the world-renowned Frank H. Netter, MD and artists working in his tradition, Netters Atlas of Human Embryology, 2nd Edition, provides a rich pictorial overview of human prenatal development. For each stage of development and for each body system, youll find a brief description of the developmental plan, with key concepts and terminology, followed by discussions of histological principles, the classification of congenital anomalies, and basic cellular, molecular, and genetic concepts. An emphasis on morphological patterns in the embryo and fetus makes it easy to understand the structure and function of the adult body and the embryonic basis of natural variation as well as birth anomalies.
