A Practical Guide to the Histology of the Mouse provides a full-colour atlas of mouse histology. Mouse models of disease are used extensively in biomedical research with many hundreds of new models being generated each year. Complete phenotypic analysis of all of these models can benefit from histologic review of the tissues. This book is aimed at veterinary and medical pathologists who are unfamiliar with mouse tissues and scientists who wish to evaluate their own mouse models. It provides practical guidance on the collection, sampling and analysis of mouse tissue samples in order to maximize the information that can be gained from these tissues. As well as illustrating the normal microscopic anatomy of the mouse, the book also describes and explains the common anatomic variations, artefacts associated with tissue collection and background lesions to help the scientist to distinguish these changes from experimentally- induced lesions. This will be an essential bench-side companion for researchers and practitioners looking for an accessible and well-illustrated guide to mouse pathology. Written by experienced pathologists and specifically tailored to the needs of scientists and histologists Full colour throughout Provides advice on sampling tissues, necropsy and recording data Includes common anatomic variations, background lesions and artefacts which will help non-experts understand whether histologic variations seen are part of the normal background or related to their experimental manipulation

This book is designed for undergraduate medical and dental students. The present updated edition is an illustrated account of microscopic structures of tissues and organs in a simple and precise language. The text is extremely student-friendly. - Concise, point-wise presentation of text for easy learning and quick recapitulation during exams - Line diagrams for basic understanding of the tissues/organs - Pencil sketches of sections (haematoxylin & eosin stained) along with salient points of identification, well integrated with text for understanding technical details of structures at the backdrop of theory - Practicals comprising excellent quality large sized microphotographs at the end of the theory with detailed explanations of what students are expected to observe - Clinical correlation of certain important structures - Self-assessment exercise at the end of each chapter for revision of the topics studied

This book has been designed to help medical students succeed with their histology classes, while using less time on studying the curriculum. The book can both be used on its own or as a supplement to the classical full-curriculum textbooks normally used by the students for their histology classes. Covering the same curriculum as the classical textbooks, from basic tissue histology to the histology of specific organs, this book is formatted and organized in a much simpler and intuitive way. Almost all text is formatted in bullets or put into structured tables. This makes it quick and easy to digest, helping the student get a good overview of the curriculum. It is easy to locate specific information in the text, such as the size of cellular structures etc. Additionally, each chapter includes simplified illustrations of various histological features. The aim of the book is to be used to quickly brush up on the curriculum, e.g. before a class or an exam. Additionally, the book includes guides to distinguish between the different histological tissues and organs that can be presented to students microscopically, e.g. during a histology spot test. This guide lists the specific characteristics of the different histological specimens and also describes how to distinguish a specimen from other similar specimens. For each histological specimen, a simplified drawing and a photomicrograph of the specimen, is presented to help the student recognize the important characteristics in the microscope. Lastly, the book contains multiple “memo boxes” in which parts of the curriculum are presented as easy-to-remember mnemonics.

Fully revised, new edition presenting undergraduates with latest information in human histology. Includes colour atlas of more than 80 slides, histological plates and a new section on light microbiology. Previous edition published in 2014.

This new edition of Jaypee's well established "Colour Atlas and Practical Guide" has been enriched by the addition of a large number of new photomicrographs of human tissues. The text has been updated and the layout redesigned. Slides are arranged in groups based on similarity of appearance to aid accurate identification and extensive new material on the spinal cord and cerebral cortex is included.

This edition of the book is extensively revised and updated especially the practical section of each chapter. It is designed specifically for undergraduate medical and dental students. The text of this book is wrapped up in an efficient format, designed to increase the interest of readers. - Updated high quality labeled photomicrographs now which can be used as an Atlas - Simple, precise and student-friendly text - Point-wise presentation for easy learning and quick recapitulation during examination - Line diagrams for basic understanding of the tissue/organ - Pencil sketches of sections (haematoxylin and eosin) along with salient points of identification, well integrated with text for understanding technical details of structures at the backdrop of theory - Practical section comprising of enlarged high quality labeled photomicrographs at the end of each chapter with detailed explanation based on students' expectation to observe - Clinical correlation of certain important structures Self-assessment exercise at the end of theory for revision of the topics studied
