Mammalian Embryology
Sit down when you have some time and review this tutorial on Normal and Abnormal Mammalian Development. It is both interesting and informative:
The 3-D like quality of the micrographs coupled with selected line drawings and minimal text allow relatively easy understanding of the complex morphological changes that occur in utero. Because early human embryos are not readily available and because embryogenesis is very similar across mammalian species, the majority of micrographs that are utilized in this tutorial are of mouse embryos. The remainder are human.There is nothing hard here and I don't understand why students coming out of elementary school do not have a understanding of this material at this leve l(other then it is not presented to them).

Well, shee-yeah, that's what I tell everyone, too. And it's just not mice and people -- we share developmental processes with frogs and fish and even flies and worms. Metazoa of the world, unite!
