Author Description

Now in its revised, updated Sixth Edition, is the text for medical, health professions, and undergraduate biology students. This combination text and atlas includes a detailed textbook description that emphasizes clinical and functional correlates of histology, fully supplemented by vividly informative illustrations and photographs. Separate, superbly illustrated atlas sections follow almost every chapter and feature large-size, full-color digital micrographs, with labels and legends that highlight details of microanatomy. For this edition, approximately 20 percent of the micrographs have been replaced with new, sharper, enhanced images. One third of the illustrations have been redrawn in a new style. A powerful online interactive atlas is included with the book and features all of the plates in the text with interactive functionality.
