Embryonic and fetal development
Contents
1 The embryo A. McLaren
2 Implantation and Placentation M. B. Renfree
3 Sex determination and differentiation R. V. Short

5 Pregnancy losses and birth defects P. A. Jacobs
6 Manipulation of development R. L. Gardner
In this our Second Edition of Reproduction in Mammals we are responding to numerous requests for a more up-to-date and rather more detailed treatment of the subject. The First Edition was accorded an excellent reception, but Books 1-5 were written ten years ago and inevitably there have been advances on many fronts since then. As before, the manner of presentation is intended to make the subject matter interesting to read and readily comprehensible to undergraduates in the biological sciences, and yet with sufficient depth to provide a valued source of information to graduates engaged in both teaching and research. Our authors have been selected from among the best known in their... Tovább

This volume deals with development from the first cleavage of the fertilized egg to the birth of the new individual. Information is provided on all the important events of normal development as well as on the anomalous processes that are known to occur, and on the experimental approach to a better understanding of both the normal and the abnormal through the use of manipulative techniques.
