Publisher's Synopsis
Comparative Embryology of the Vertebrates is a comprehensive book written by Olin Everett Nelsen that explores the development of vertebrate organisms from the embryonic stage. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the similarities and differences in the embryonic development of various vertebrate species, including fish, birds, reptiles, mammals, and humans. It covers topics such as fertilization, gastrulation, organogenesis, and morphogenesis, and discusses the evolutionary changes that have occurred in the embryonic development of vertebrates over time. The book is richly illustrated with diagrams, photographs, and electron micrographs that help to clarify the complex processes involved in embryonic development. It is an essential resource for students and researchers in the fields of developmental biology, evolutionary biology, and comparative anatomy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
