List of MeSH codes (A16)
List of MeSH Codes (A16) refers to a specific subset of MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) codes that are used to index articles, books, and other resources within the field of biomedicine and related areas. MeSH is a comprehensive controlled vocabulary developed by the United States National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make searching for biomedical information more efficient and effective. The A16 series of MeSH codes specifically pertains to embryonic structures, encompassing a wide range of terms related to the development of organisms at the embryonic stage.
Overview[edit | edit source]
The MeSH hierarchy includes several categories, ranging from anatomy to psychiatry, with each category designated by a unique letter code. The "A" category covers anatomical terms, and within this category, the A16 series is focused on embryonic structures. This series includes terms related to the early developmental stages of organisms, including embryonic and fetal development, and specific structures that are prominent during these stages.
List of MeSH Codes (A16)[edit | edit source]
The A16 series covers a variety of structures and concepts within embryonic development. Some of the key entries include:
- A16.254 - Branchial Region
- A16.378 - Embryo, Mammalian
- A16.504 - Fetus
- A16.710 - Neural Crest
- A16.850 - Somites
Each of these entries is associated with a more detailed set of subcategories and specific terms that allow for precise indexing and retrieval of biomedical information related to embryonic structures.
Importance[edit | edit source]
The use of MeSH codes, including the A16 series, facilitates a more organized and efficient way to access biomedical information. By categorizing information according to specific subjects and concepts, researchers, healthcare professionals, and students can more easily find relevant literature and resources. This is particularly important in the field of developmental biology and embryology, where understanding the complex processes of embryonic development is crucial for both basic science and clinical applications.
