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.
