One of the learning outcomes Animal Embryology and Reproduction is that students can explain concepts about reproduction or embryology theory. Since concept map-based improve students’ critical thinking skills analysis, support their interest in learning, this study analysed ability enrolled 2019/2020 course to construct maps students' cognitive through assignments tests. This descriptive invol...

In Poland, medical embryology (both scientific research and teaching of the subject) has traditionally involved Chairs of Histology and Embryology rather than Obstetrics and Gynecology. Before World War II, the most buoyant centers for embryological research among the five universities at the time (in Warsaw, Krakow, Poznan, Lvov and Vilnius), were the Chairs of Embryology and Histology at Medi...

The aim of this paper is to summarise the knowledge about the anatomy, embryology and anthropology of the mandible and the mandibular foramen and also to highlight the most important clinical implications of the current studies regarding anaesthesia performed in the region of the mandible. An electronic journal search was undertaken to identify all the relevant studies published in English. The...

Organicism (materialistic holism) has provided the philosophical underpinnings for embryology since the time of Kant. It had influenced the founders of developmental mechanics, and the importance of organicism to embryology was explicitly recognized by such figures as O. Hertwig, H. Spemann, R. Harrison, A. M. Dalq, J. Needham, and C. H. Waddington. Many of the principles of organicism remain i...

This chapter describes research into the embryonic field of Computational Embryology. The chapter starts with a brief history of embryology and the contributions scientists have made over the years causing the gradual amalgamation of embryology and genetics to form developmental biology. This is followed by a detailed investigation into the evolution of computational embryogenies. The focus of ...

The early studies of evolutionary developmental biology (Evo-Devo) come from several sources. Tributaries flowing into Evo-Devo came from such disciplines as embryology, developmental genetics, evolutionary biology, ecology, paleontology, systematics, medical embryology and mathematical modeling. This essay will trace one of the major pathways, that from evolutionary embryology to Evo-Devo and ...

Knowledge of the embryology of the normal heart is essential for understanding the development of congenital cardiopathies. However, learning embryology is not an easy matter because it requires understanding the intricacy and evolution of many complex structures and functions. Classically, this evolution is usually described in textbooks by means of drawings and sketches. With these techniques...

Müllerian anomalies are very common, and a frequent cause of infertility. The most used classification system until now, proposed by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine in 1988, categorizes comprehensively uterine anomalies but fails to classify defects of the cervix or vagina. This is based on a developmental theory that postulates that müllerian duct fusion is unidirectional, begin...
