The Spinal Cord during the First and Early Second Trimesters 4- to 108-mm Crown-Rump Lengths

Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development, Volume 14

This fourteenth of 15 short atlases reimagines the classic 5 volume Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development. A handy paperback edition focuses on the spinal cord during the first and second trimester and are illustrated and annotated in great detail, together with 3D reconstructions.

This fourteenth of 15 short atlases reimagines the classic 5 volume Atlas of Human Central Nervous System Development. This volume presents sections of the spinal cord from specimens between 4 mm and 108 mm with detailed annotations. Extensive 3-D reconstructions show the early development of the germinal zones, the earliest neurons and early white matter accumulations at cervical levels only. Other 3-D reconstructions in older specimens show the progressive segregation of motor neuron columns at all levels in the ventral gray.

The Glossary (available separately) gives definitions for all the terms used in this volume and all the others in the Atlas.

Key Features

• Classic anatomical atlases
