Abstract
Embryology is a part of anatomical sciences investigating formation,
differentiation, growth and development of embryos and fetuses. This science is not
only limited to the definition above, but it can also be used for human adults involved
in perinatology, infertility, congenital defects, cell therapy and personalized medicine.
This chapter aims to introduce embryology and its role in the clinical practice of
physicians. The linkage of embryology and medicine is an example of the linkage
between basic and clinical medical sciences. Entering to this interdisciplinary field
opens a novel door for making hypotheses for future studies.
