Das presents multiple-choice questions that test histological and embryological concepts that are integrated across disciplines to the competency consistent with the testing standards of the US Medical Licensing Examination Step One. The histology topics include epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, cartilage and bones, integumentary system, oral cavity and salivary glands, the hepatobiliary system and pancreas, the respiratory system, and male and female systems. The embryology section considers such topics as head and neck, cardiovascular system, genitourinary system, and placenta and fetal circulation.

Thieme Test Prep for the USMLE®: Medical Histology and Embryology is the choice of medical students...
...The major test-prep resources do not focus on these subjects in detail. A question bank...would be beneficial to those who struggle with these as an additional resource for studying ... - Ethan Young (Fourth-year medical student, University of South Dakota, Sanford School of Medicine)
I especially like the clinical focus of the questions, which are "two layers" deep instead of straight recall. - Deborah Chen (Third-year medical student, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School)
Well thought out and also extremely well written. ... an effective tool for students both in learning the material initially and also in reviewing it for the USMLE. - Roger A. Dashner, MS, PhD (Clinical Anatomist and CEO, Advanced Anatomical Services)
Thieme Test Prep for the USMLE®: Medical Histology and Embryology fills a void in available board prep materials in its combination of histology and embryology. Consistently organized sections cover everything from microstructures of basic tissue and body systems to the development of all major body systems.
