Overview
‘The
Embryonic Disk’ is a low-cost e-learning resource, developed
within UCL to support the study of embryology both in and out
of class. It
is available on CD-ROM, priced like a music CD for sale direct
to students, and also for network use under licence.
It contains
detailed, illustrated coverage of the first two months of human
embryonic development and charts the emergence of the head and
neck, nervous system, special senses and all the major organ systems
of the thorax and abdomen. It also covers related topics: the
germ line and formation of gametes, twinning, the placenta, and
preimplantation genetic diagnosis.
Two levels
of text ('core' and 'more') are supported by diagrams, photographs
and animations, with hotlinks to an extensive glossary, a comprehensive
index and over 1600 self-assessment questions. |
