This leading histology text presents the student with a resource of high quality photomicrographs and electron micrographs of (largely) human tissues, along with a concise text appropriate for modern medical and other bioscience courses. The microstructure of tissues is related to function and clinical significance. The great strength of this book is that it is written very much from the point of view of the student. It starts with a section on general cell structure and replication. The second section examines the basic tissue types of blood, supporting/connective tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle and nervous tissues, while the third and major section examines the microstructure of the major body systems. This book is ideal for those courses where considerable time is still devoted to the subject, where it is likely to be used as an atlas to go alongside one of the major discursive textbooks. Each chapter begins with a brief overview of the topic, but most of the information is in the extended explanatory captions that accompany the high quality photomicrographs.
