Langman'S Medical Embryology with the Point Access Scratch Code by Sadler Thomas W

Widely acclaimed for its clinical relevance and clear writing style, Langman's Medical Embryology provides a user-friendly and innovative approach to learning embryology. The revised eleventh edition presents medical and health professions students with a concise yet thorough description of embryology and its clinical significance, an awareness of which is essential in the diagnosis, and prevention of birth defects. It features outstanding full-color clinical images and photographs, end-of-chapter Summaries, Problems to Solve, and Clinical Correlates boxes.

A companion Website includes fully searchable text, interactive review questions and problems, updated Simbryo animations of embryologic system development, and PowerPoint slides for instructors.

Salient Features
NEW! Additional images included in the birth defects chapters to provide more visual examples and improve the usability of the chapter
NEW! Additional recolorization/replacement of line drawings (approximately 15-20)
NEW! Continued replacement/addition of color clinical photographs/images
NEW! Glossary of key terms
NEW! Updated and new Problems to Solve
NEW! Updated information on molecular genetics
Clinical Correlates provide information about birth defects and other clinical entities directly related to embryologic concepts
Full-color art program along with supporting color clinical images and photographs
General chapter on development includes coverage of molecular biology
Organized into two parts:
Part One, General Embryology, presents development of embryo chronologically and also includes chapters on placental and fetal development and prenatal diagnosis and birth defects
Part Two, Systems-based Embryology, describes the embryogenesis of each organ system
Provides end-of-chapter Summaries and Problems to Solve
