A definitive resource that connects core embryology principles with human anatomy and pathology.
Understanding clinical anatomy requires a solid grasp of the developmental processes that shape anatomical structures. Yet many learners find it difficult to link embryology, adult anatomy, and congenital anomalies. Embryology: An Essential Textbook by Michelle Lazarus and Anna Campbell bridges this gap by offering a cohesive, accessible guide that integrates human development with structural anatomy and clinical relevance.
Organized into three sections and 12 chapters, the book helps readers build foundational embryology knowledge before exploring system-wide development and region-specific anatomical formation. Each chapter features concise correlates highlighting how developmental processes influence anatomical relationships (green boxes) and clinical outcomes (red boxes).
