Historic Disclaimer - information about historic embryology pages

Pages where the terms "Historic" (textbooks, papers, people, recommendations) appear on this site, and sections within pages where this disclaimer appears, indicate that the content and scientific understanding are specific to the time of publication. This means that while some scientific descriptions are still accurate, the terminology and interpretation of the developmental mechanisms reflect the understanding at the time of original publication and those of the preceding periods, these terms, interpretations and recommendations may not reflect our current scientific understanding.     (More?

Preface to the Fourth Edition

In the present edition the plan of the book has been modified in certain respects. The chapter on the cell has been omitted because in the opinion of the authors the previous training of the student who commences the study, of the embryology of vertebrates has been sufficient to bring to his attention the salient features of cell organization. In former editions the early processes of development, viz: cleavage, gastrulation, and mesoderm formation, were treated as topics in separate chapters. The present plan comprises the treatment of the early stages in succession in a given animal form; individual chapters are devoted to Amphioxus, the frog, the chick, and the mammal. This change has been made because it is our opinion gained from experience in teaching that the student acquires a better understanding of the development of the germ layers by following the processes as a continuous series in a given animal. A number of old illustrations have been replaced by new figures the sources of which have been duly credited.

Apart from the insertion of the chapter on foetal membranes the second part of the book, comprising organogeny, has been revised only in so far as the results of recent investigation have modified the ideas expressed in the previous edition.

We wish to express our appreciation of the helpful criticisms of our colleagues and other friends.
