The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology (10th edition - 2016)

Abstract

The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology (10th Edition) is a key resource for understanding human embryological development, widely used by medical students. Authored by Keith L. Moore, T. V. N. Persaud, and Mark G. Torchia, it covers fetal development in a clear, clinically oriented format. The book provides detailed week-by-week and stage-by-stage explanations of embryogenesis, supported by nearly 600 illustrations. Topics include normal and abnormal development, the causes of birth defects, and how molecular biology has influenced clinical practice. Additionally, clinical case presentations and review questions help students apply concepts and prepare for exams such as the USMLE Step 1​.
