Completely revised and updated, this comprehensive collection of multiple-choice questions reviews the clinical applications of human embryology and teratology. The manual is designed for use with Moore & Persuad's THE DEVELOPING HUMAN: CLINICALLY ORIENTED EMBRYOLOGY and BEFORE WE ARE BORN: ESSENTIALS OF EMBRYOLOGY AND BIRTH DEFECTS. Provides easy access to key information for classroom study, self-evaluation, and USMLE Step 1 preparation for all board-tested topics. Presents succinct rationales for each question so readers can effectively review and understand the subject matter. Includes a comprehensive sample exam that parallels the USMLE, enabling students to sharpen their test-taking skills. Features a wealth of new and revised questions, as well as clinical vignettes, that emphasize critical thinking over memorization of facts. Includes learning objectives in each chapter to keeps readers focused.

Intended for medical students preparing for licensing exams, this study guide reviews the details of human development and congenital diseases. Primarily organized by body system, each of the 46 chapters consists of a single page of diagrams on the left and a single page of text on the right. Three multiple choice tests are provided.

The Fundamentals of Human Embryology covers embryonic development, with a unique focus on adult anatomy. Its goal is to impart to students a comprehensive overview of how the human embryo forms, not only as a basis for the student of human anatomy, but also as a link to abnormalities they may encounter in their clinical careers. Extensively illustrated with labeled line drawings, now enlarged for better visibility, this concise manual will meet the needs of both undergraduate and postgraduate students in the Human Sciences. Special features include: • Separate chapters on the neural crest, the skull and osteogenesis • In-depth coverage of head and neck embryology, including the development of the tooth, for students of dentistry, and speech and audiology In this Second Edition of the manual at the request of students and teachers, the authors have made the following changes: • Increased the size of the diagrams • Revised the text to comply with the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology changes to the Terminologia Embryologica • Altered the sequencing of some topics to allow the development to flow more logically • Included an appendix of coloured photographs of congenital abnormalities to help students form a more realistic idea of developmental abnormalities.

Written by some of the world's most famous anatomists, the 10th edition of The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology continues to present medical students with a comprehensive and easily digestible review of this complex topic. Clearly written and well-structured descriptions include just the information that’s needed, while nearly 600 illustrations help provide a clinically oriented guide to human development, utilizing a week-by-week and stage-by-stage approach to describe fetal organ and system development. Review questions and answers at the end of each chapter allow for effective exam preparation. Covers the latest advances in embryology, including normal and abnormal embryogenesis, causes of birth defects, and the role of genes in human development. Details how discoveries in molecular biology have affected clinical practice, including the development of sophisticated new techniques such as recumbent DNA technology and stem cell manipulation. Clinical case presentations, highlighted in special boxes, demonstrate how embryology concepts relate to clinical practice and are ideal for preparing for the USMLE Step 1. Three-dimensional animations — 2 new to this edition — help visual learners understand the subjects as discussed in the book as a whole. New and thoroughly revised assessment questions by Mark Torchia. Presents an authoritative description of human embryology through all stages of development. Rich illustrations correspond to the text to enhance comprehension. Medicine eBook is accessible on a variety of devices.

Here's a rich pictorial review of normal and abnormal human prenatal development. For each body system or region, you'll find a brief description of the developmental plan, with key concepts and terminology, followed by discussions of histological principles, the classification of congenital defects, and basic cellular, molecular, and genetic concepts; An emphasis on morphological patterns in the embryo and fetus makes it easy to understand the structure and function of the adult body and the embryonic basis of birth defects. Summary tables and terminology sections at the end of each chapter, plus an appendix with all major congenital defects and their embryonic basis, make it easy to review course material and prepare for the USMLE.

This thoroughly revised 4th edition offers both clear descriptions and explanations of human embryonic development based on all the most up-to-date scientific discoveries and understanding. Particular attention is paid to the fundamental aspects of molecular mechanisms in development, introducing you to major families of important developmental molecules. Clinical aspects of development are covered throughout in boxed sections of text. First-rate illustrations complete this essential package. Integrates contemporary developmental knowledge with classical embryological understanding. Interprets complex molecular developments, to help you learn how exactly the embryo develops. Presents first-rate clinical photos and clear drawings, to help you to memorize and understand normal and abnormal development. Uses clear sections within the chapter and summaries at the end of each to help you navigate this complex subject. Includes review questions at the end of each chapter to help you assess your knowledge. Provides more coverage of molecular development to help you interpret complex information. Revises the section on the development of the head, particularly useful for dental students.
