The Anatomical Basis of Mouse Development

An anatomical resource for developmental biologists who need to know about any aspect of mouse developmental anatomy, as well as for geneticists using the mouse embryo as a model. This book details the developmental anatomy of the early embryo, the transitional tissues, and all the major organ systems. It provides extensive comparisons with human developmental anatomy, both normal and abnormal. The book also has extensive reference indexes detailing developmental stage criteria. This book is a companion to Kaufman's The Atlas of Mouse Development. The Anatomical Basis of Mouse Development will be a key reference work for anyone who needs to understand developmental anatomy in normal and mutant mice.
