Riassunto:

This stand-alone, comprehensive, fully-illustrated atlas of descriptive embryology features over 300 detailed, accurate, and fully labeled illustrations (photomicrographs, line drawings, and orientation drawings). Broad in coverage, it considers many different organisms, and features comparative embryology (i.e., gametogenesis in rat, human, cat, grasshopper, locust; development of Ascaris, sea urchin, starfish, frog, chick, and pig; and the human uterus and placenta). Comprehensive coverage of a large variety of developing organisms exposes readers to many different developmental strategies. Over 300 high-quality photomicrographic illustrations provided enables readers to quickly identify similar structures in their own specimens using side-by-side reference to the atlas. Over 50 valuable line-drawings from classical textbooks present supplemental, interpretive views of photomicrographic illustrations to help readers understand developmental events in four-dimensions?i.e., the three dimensions of space, plus the dimensions of time. Combined glossary, synopsis of development and index are provided. For those in area of biology.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

The sixth edition of this comprehensive and widely used laboratory atlas includes a new chapter on the development of the round worm Caenorhabditis elegans. Additional chapters cover gametogenesis and fertilization, human reproduction, and the development of echinoderms, chordates, amphibians, avians and mammals.
