From the Publisher:     

Recognized as the leading medical histology text in the world, Basic Histology:  Text and Atlas offers the most comprehensive approach to the relationship between tissue structure and function and the physiologic response in the human body.  Updated, revised, and in true-to-life color, it continues to pave the way as the most authoratative text of its kind.

• Showcases more than 600 high-quality photomicrographs, electron micrographs, and illustrations, 500 of which are in full color

• Emphasizes cell biology as the most fundamental approach to understanding structure and function of tissues and organs

• Clear and comprehensive explanations of microscopic anatomy

• Full-color photomicrographs prepared from new tissue samples feature distinctive labeling that clearly pinpoints the elements of interest and enhances the didactic nature of the book.

• Bonus image library CD-ROM includes all of the photomicrographs and illustrations in the book.

• Medical applications relate histology to pathobiology, diagnosis, and clinical aspects of disease

• Key concepts highlighted in each chapter

• Newly revised and updated to reflect recent findings and interpretations in the field, including molecular biology, intercellular communications, human genomics, and the structure and function of specific organ systems

• Impressive collection of photomicrographs and illustrations summarizes morphologic and functional features of cells, tissues, and organs

• Concise discussion of the structure and function of cells, the four basic body tissues, and each organ and organ system

Fully-Searchable Image CD-ROM

• Includes more than 600 fully searchable photomicrographs and illustrations from Basic Histology:  Text and Atlas, 11th Edition

• "Zoom in" and "zoom out" functionality facilitates exploration of the relationship between structure and function of cells and tissues and physiologic response

• Advanced image management system--users can import images into PowerPoint or download into reports and presentations.
