This textbook was developed to respond to the increasing focus on cell biology, computer simulation and clinical material in todays histology courses. The book integrates concise text, excellent quality colour and black-and-white photographs, and improved three-dimensional artwork of histologic structures. It is the only book available that focuses strictly on human tissues. In addition to practical histology boxes, which help students relate material to lab work, it contains clinical histology boxes with information relating to medical practice, advanced concepts boxes or the ambitious student and key fact boxes.
