Description
Veterinary Embryology, Second Edition, has been updated to reflect the many changes that have developed both in an improved understanding of molecular features of embryology and in the rapid advances in the manipulation of embryonic cells, particularly stem cells. The text is written by an expert team, all of whom have extensive experience in the teaching of veterinary embryology and cognate subjects. Now in full colour throughout, the text provides information relevant to many subjects taught in preclinical, paraclinical and clinical years of veterinary programmes. Chapters describe and explain sequential events relating to the division, growth and differentiation of cells and to the formation of foetal membranes, implantation and placentation. Development and maturation of the major body systems are presented. And new chapters have been added, covering historical aspects of embryology, stem cells, embryo mortality in domestic species and assisted reproductive technologies used in domestic animals. 398 p.
