Description
Summary:"My main purpose in writing the present book was to assemble and summarize scattered physiologic observations on fetuses for my own information and for that of my students. I hope that the result will be useful to others who are working in fetal physiology and perhaps will help direct attention to problems which need to be investigated. Another purpose was to provide a supplement for courses in embryology to help stress functional aspects of development; this is in line with current trends of medical teaching. Finally, I had in mind those in allied fields, especially neurology, psychology and pediatrics, who are interested in problems of behavior and who have frequent occasion to desire knowledge of prenatal physiology"--Preface.
