Embryology Explained. A Comprehensive Textbook for Medical Students & Residents 2nd Edition

Embryology Explained is an essential guide for medical students and residents, enriched with original illustrations by Dr Thomas Newman that navigate the complexities of embryonic development. Structured methodically, the textbook breaks down embryogenesis with clarity and precision. Each chapter is organised into four main sections – embryology, clinical relevance, molecular details, and key points – allowing learners to efficiently review and connect the material with their specific academic and exam requirements. Tailored specifically to address the components of embryology emphasised in both undergraduate and postgraduate medical examinations, this book serves as an invaluable tool for exam preparation. It distinguishes itself from existing texts by shedding the common overly detailed approach and instead highlights the practical clinical applications of embryology, making it more pertinent and accessible for medical students and residents. It is an easy-to-read and comprehensive textbook that will explain embryology for you!
