This course will present the major morphogenetic changes occurring in the mesodermal germ layer and relate them to the development of ectodermal and endodermal structures during the embryonic period of human development. 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.
