Summary

• Does the massive amount of information involved in your study of embryology overwhelm you? If so, let Basic Concepts in Embryology organize and condense the material to help you master - not just memorize - the stages of human development and the step-by-step evolution of organ systems from embryonic layers. The focus is on those topics that students have identified as "most difficult" to grasp. Using simple, jargon-free language you'll fully understand the material and feel comfortable applying it.
• Unlike the conventional textbook or review book, Basic Concepts in Embryology has just one goal: to innovatively review the toughest concepts in embryology for maximum comprehension in a short period of time.
