An all-new addition to the Netter Coloring Books family, Netter’s Embryology Coloring Book makes learning embryology easier and more enjoyable through active and engaging review! The study of embryology is particularly suited for coloring exercises because the actions of coloring and tracing reinforce spatial understanding and changes following the development of structures over time. With artwork based on the highly regarded and familiar Netter collection, you know you’re benefiting from reliable, up-to-date anatomical information. This new Netter coloring book also contains review questions and clinical notes, making it an excellent, high-yield embryology resource for foundational learning as well as review.

Netter's Embryology Coloring Book is a perfect companion to Netter’s Anatomy Coloring Book as well as Netter’s Atlas of Human Embryology, Netter’s Physiology Coloring Book, Netter’s Neuroscience Coloring Book, Netter’s Anatomy Flash Cards, and Netter’s Physiology Flash Cards.

Key Features

Emphasizes the continuity between the primordia (precursors) in the early embryo and their derivatives in the fetus and adult
Uses standard color coding for the three early embryo (gastrula) germ layers of cells: ectoderm blue, endoderm yellow, and mesoderm red reflect common conventions used in life sciences education
Features Clinical Notes throughout that emphasize important aspects of development in a clinical context
Includes review questions at the end of each section for convenient self-assessment and review
Presents each topic in two-page spreads―with outlines of Netter anatomical illustrations for coloring on one side; and high-yield information and coloring guide on the other
Features illustrations small enough for quick coloring, but large enough to provide important details
Offers tips for coloring key structures that emphasize how a coloring exercise can reinforce learning
Provides online access where you can view completed coloring pages for reference
