Developmental Physiology

Abstract

voted to a presentation of the recent additions to our understand ing of the development of the mammalian embryo and fetus. The fie�d is one of exceptional breadth and considerable activity for it has stimulated interest in many branches of animal biology. Con tributing to it are the classical embryologist and anatomist inter ested primarily in problems of morphogenesis; the physiologist and zoologist investigating the development of function; the biochem ist concerned with chemical differentiation and the chemical dif ferences which exist between typical and atypical cellular growth; the obstetrician and pediatrician who add a clinical interest to problems of fetal nutrition and of fetal anomalies. It will be ap parent that these various points of view are interdependent and that a presentation of progress in developmental physiology must include the advances made in its closely related fields of interest.
