Pre-clinical anatomy curricula must provide medical students with the knowledge needed in a variety of medical and surgical specialties. But do physicians within specialties agree about what anatomical knowledge is most important in their practices? And, what is the common core of anatomical knowledge deemed essential by physicians in different specialties? Answers to these questions would be u...

I N addition to the principal imaginal discs (cephalic, labial, wing, haltere, leg and genital), the larva in Cyclorrhapha carries as discrete components the rudiments of the imaginal segmental abdominal hypodermis, salivary glands, fore-, midand hind-gut, lateral cerebral ganglia and segmental tracheal system (Snodgrass, 1924; Bodenstein, 1950; Shatoury, 19566; Anderson, 1964, etc.). The embry...

The surface properties of cells and the functions of the plasma membrane have become of consider able importance in experimentation and theory of two closely related disciplines, embryology and cancer research. An example from embryology is Moscona's work on tissue reconstruction (71—73). When single cells of various embryonic organs are combined in a suspension, they form mixed, ran dom aggr...

The broad aim of this chapter is to create an awareness that self assembling, "artificial embryological" type systems need to be studied, so that future molecular scale technologies (Drexler, 1992) will be able to build machines which have too many components for sequential mechanical assembly. With this broader aim in mind, a more concrete aim is to introduce the concept of embryological diffe...

Until today, the puzzling spectrum of midgut "malrotations" is commonly explained by an "impaired" process of rotation of the midgut. However, a closer look at the literature reveals that the description of this "process of rotation" is rather schematic and is aimed more at explaining pathological findings, while detailed proper embryological investigations are still rare. Despite recent trials...

The embryology of amphioxus has much in common with vertebrate embryology, reflecting a close phylogenetic relationship between the two groups. Amphioxus embryology is simpler in several key respects, however, including a lack of pronounced craniofacial morphogenesis. To gain an insight into the molecular changes that accompanied the evolution of vertebrate embryology, and into the relationship...

To Lynn M. Morgan, the Mary E. Woolley Professor of Anthropology at Mt. Holyoke College, nothing says ?life? more than a dead embryo. In her easily readable book, Icons of Life: A Cultural History of Human Embryos [3], Morgan brings together cultural phenomena, ethics, and embryology [4] to show that even dead embryos and fetuses have their own stories to tell. As an anthropologist, Morgan is i...
