Embyrology sucks. I mean, it's interesting, and all, but to actually have to go in and answer questions about it in an exam? Oy.
I find embryology the one MS1 subject that I can find the least amount of material with. Biochemistry's a pain in the ass as well, but at least there's about a gazillion books and websites out there for it. Embryology? Well, my friends reccomend Langman's. And.... that's about it.
Which is where you come in. I'm trying to put together a collection of links and textbook reccomendations that'll help whoever needs it (now and in the future) out with this festering boil of a subject.
I also despise the way the books are all academic-essay style. There's no high-yield list of facts that I can pick out and say, I need to know this. I always end up making my own.
I guess the question is, how do you study embryology?
Feel free to throw in any embryology success/sob - stories, study plans, etc. that you might have as well...
So, to kick it off:

- I like Langman's for some of the stuff, although I have to paraphrase it for exams. I end up making list of important stuff (e.g. dermal origination of various organs and structures - resp. system =>> endoderm) that I think is MCQ-material.
- I found this site great for understanding the 3dimensional folding involved in the formation of the cardiovascular system!
