About This Book

An illustrated medical treatise that pairs colored lithographic plates of aborted ova and other uterine specimens with anatomical and physiological commentary. It systematically examines normal and abnormal reproduction, conception, the ovum before and after fertilization, membranes (cortical membrane, chorion, amnion), early embryonic and fetal development, placenta formation and vascular connections, fetal circulation, and modes of fetal nutrition and fluid exchange. Explanatory notes and propositions accompany plate descriptions and practical observations intended to clarify pathological findings and aid clinical reference.
