for geneticists using the mouse embryo as a model. The book is a companion to Kaufman's The Atlas of Mouse Development, and details the developmental anatomy of the early embryo, the transitional tissues, and all the major organ systems. It also provides extensive comparisons with human developmental anatomy, both normal and abnormal. The book has extensive reference indexes detailing developmental stage criteria. 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.Complements Kaufman's The Atlas of Mouse DevelopmentGives anatomical descriptions from oogenesis to birth, at a level of detail that goes beyond that found in most literatureProvides detailed explanations for geneticists and molecular biologists with limited anatomical background to help them understand the emergence of all the major structures in the mouse embryoContains comprehensive indexes detailing the appearance of over 1000 organs, tissues, and their components at different stages of mouse embryogenesisIncludes comparisons with normal and abnormal human developmentContains over 100 clear line diagrams showing mouse developmental anatomy as well as lineage relationships for the major organ systems
