CMM443 - Embryology Basics
Course Description
This course will present major events in human development during the early embryonic period (weeks 0-4), as well as disorders of development established during this period. In addition, it will introduce the mechanisms involved in early embryonic morphogenetic changes. It will provide pre-health science professions students (Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing, Public Health) as well as students planning a career in biomedical research with valuable background in human embryology and developmental biology including a cellular and molecular (genetic) basis for understanding congenital malformations. Clinical examples will be used to help students understand mechanisms of typical and atypical development. The course will complement study of histology and gross anatomy. In addition, it will provide vocabulary that is useful in approaching the medical and basic science literature.
