The new edition of this well-known text brings undergraduates fully up to date with the latest information on human embryology.

Beginning with an overview of genetics, the female reproductive system, fertilisation, and early development of the embryo, the following sections each examine the development of a different embryonic system.

The genetic and molecular aspects of each system are presented in tabular format and clinical correlations are highlighted in separate boxes to enhance learning.

The eleventh edition features new chapters on genetics and molecular biology, the skeletal and muscular system, clinical applications, and embryology ready reckoner.

The text is highly illustrated with clinical photographs and tables and each chapter includes case scenarios and review questions for self-assessment.
