What is developmental anatomy?

Developmental anatomy is the branch of anatomy that focuses on the study of the structural changes that occur in an organism from fertilization to adulthood. It involves the study of how tissues, organs, and systems develop and grow in a developing organism. This field of study helps to understand the processes involved in embryonic development, organogenesis, and growth, as well as how abnormalities in development can lead to congenital defects and diseases.

Developmental anatomy is the study of the structural changes that occur during the development of an organism from a fertilized egg to an adult. It is a branch of anatomy that focuses on the embryologic and postnatal development of structures within the body. Developmental anatomy is important for understanding the normal development of the body and for identifying and treating birth defects and other developmental disorders.
