""An Introduction to Vertebrate Embryology: Based on the Study of the Frog and the Chick"" is a book written by Albert Moore Reese and first published in 1904. The book is a comprehensive guide to the study of embryology in vertebrates, with a particular focus on the development of frogs and chicks.Reese begins by introducing the basic principles of embryology, including the structure and function of cells, tissues, and organs. He then goes on to describe the development of the egg and the early stages of embryonic development in both frogs and chicks.The book covers a wide range of topics, including the formation of the nervous system, the development of the circulatory system, and the growth and differentiation of various organs such as the heart, lungs, and kidneys. Reese also discusses the role of genetics in embryonic development and the ways in which environmental factors can affect the growth and development of embryos.Throughout the book, Reese provides detailed illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the complex processes of embryonic development. He also includes numerous experiments and observations that can be conducted in the laboratory to further explore these processes.Overall, ""An Introduction to Vertebrate Embryology"" is a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in the study of embryology in vertebrates. Its clear and concise explanations, combined with detailed illustrations and practical experiments, make it an accessible and informative guide to this fascinating field of study.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
