Alan Stevens,James Lowe,
University of Nottingham, U.K. Second edition of a textbook on medically relevant histology,
for medical students. Includes chapter-end review questions. Color illustrations. Softcover.
Human Histology is designed to help you learn more easily.
Superb color photographs of macroscopic specimens and stained
human tissues illustrate gross and microscopic detail.
Color diagrams, many in 3D, display complex tissues
and help you understand structure and function of cells,
tissues and organs. Practical histology sections are highlighted in
green to show you what to look for in lab microscopy sessions.
Clinical sections are highlighted in blue and illustrate how changes
in tissue structure and function underlie human disease processes.
Advanced concepts provide you with more in-depth knowledge, recent research,
and molecular structure of cells and tissues. Key facts boxes provide you with
a continuous method to check retention of key facts, both during the course
and prior to exams.
Chapter-end review questions test your comprehension of the topic in an exam-style format.
