Description

This atlas offers readers a comprehensive, as well as illustrated presentation of human development before birth. Two hundred (200) full-colour illustrations, accompanied by authoritative text descriptions, provide a three-dimensional appreciation of embryonic and fetal development. The book also illustrates the stages at which the formation of tissues may be affected, and documents the main systems involved in congenital malformation. The book depicts every facet of prenatal development and reflects all of the past decade's monumental advances in embryologic science, and in techniques for assessing human embryonic and fetal development. Also included is an illustrated account of in vitro fertilization.
