It starts with fertilization and ends with the attainment of an adult state, usually expressed in terms of both maximal body , central pathways, and functional mechanisms. The text is supported with light and electron microscopic representations of healthy and intact organs or tissues (and some with pathology, if it is relevant to understanding normal structure and function).
