Quintessential text links core clinical embryology concepts to human anatomy and pathology
Clinical anatomy relies on a deep knowledge of anatomical relationships, many of which are established during human development. Despite the implicit interconnections among anatomy, human embryology, and congenital anomalies, many students struggle making these associations. Embryology: An Essential Textbook by Michelle Lazarus and Anna Campbell fills a gap in the literature. This unique textbook seamlessly integrates human development with adult structural relationships and clinical correlations in a logical, digestible format.
Throughout three sections and 12 chapters, the text focuses on helping learners understand the connections among embryology, adult anatomy, and congenital anomalies. The book starts by laying a foundation of embryology knowledge, followed by sections on body-wide system development and regional anatomy development. Each chapter includes correlates that either focus on anatomical relationships influenced by the developmental process (green box) or clinical outcomes influenced by developmental processes (red box).
Key Features
- Reader-friendly formatting augments understanding of the widespread impacts of embryology on newborn and adult anatomy
- Succinct bullet points, tables, and graphs enhance learning and retention of knowledge
- Outstanding images clearly illustrate difficult-to-understand embryology concepts
- Test-your-knowledge questions woven throughout the book help readers identify strengths and weaknesses in their studies
This book provides an essential classroom tool for students interested in embryological origins of human anatomy and clinical pathology. It will also benefit anyone interested in exploring how human development influences clinical practice.
