This popular text makes it surprisingly easy for you to gain an in-depth understanding of human embryology. Engaging and richly illustrated, it examines all aspects of human development, emphasising both basic concepts and relevant clinical problems. It presents a week-by-week and stage-by-stage view of how foetal organs and systems develop, why and when birth defects occur, and the roles the placenta and fetal membranes play in development.
