Outlines of external development -- Development and septation of the atria and venous pole -- Development and septation of the ventricles and outflow tract -- Development of endocardial, myocardial, epicardial layers and derivatives. Steding's and Virágh's Scanning Electron Microscopy Atlas of the Developing Human Heart Dr. Roelof-Jan Oostra, Dept. of Anatomy and Embryology, Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands Prof. Dr. Gerd Steding, Dept. of Embryology, Georg-August-Universität, Göttingen, Germany Prof. Dr. Wout H. Lamers, Dept. of Anatomy and Embryology, Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands Prof. Dr. Atoon F.M. Moorman, Dept. of Anatomy and Embryology, Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands Key Features: Quick reference guide Includes almost 200 scanning electron microscopy pictures All photographs are paired with drawings that carry the legends Provides detailed descriptions of the relevant developmental events Steding's and Virágh's Scanning Electron Microscopy Atlas of the Developing Human Heart comprises a complete and extensive exposure of the spatial and temporal aspects of human cardiac development as seen with scanning electron microscopy. Apart from serving as a unique overview on cardiac development in the human embryo, this atlas gives an updated morphological reference of cardiac embryology for topographic correlation and enables the projection of experimental results in animals to the human situation. Steding's and Virágh's Scanning Electron Microscopy Atlas of the Developing Human Heart offers a readily accessible reference aid for scientists working in the fields of molecular, biochemical, genetic and morphological investigation of cardiac development. Additionally, it serves as a helpful tool in the education of medical students, clinicians, pathologists and geneticists.
