Thoroughly updated to reflect all of the latest concepts and advances in the field, this concise, extensively illustrated text presents the basic science and clinical application of cellular and molecular biology. Functioning as a combined text and atlas, it is essentially two books for the price of one providing a comprehensive, visually engaging histology education from the ground up. Illustrations, tables, chapter summaries and multiple choice questions facilitate comprehension of concepts, and clinical correlations underscore the practical relevance of the material. Superb illustrations—including photomicrographs, electron micrographs, schematic diagrams and drawings—provide a visual grasp and easier retention of difficult concepts. Clinical correlations throughout the text demonstrate clinical applications and reinforce the idea that histology is pertinent not only to pathology and physiology, but in fact comprises one of the essential bases of clinical practice. New! "Pathological Considerations" section at the end of each chapter. Helpful tables provide an at-a-glance summary statement of key points. Bolded key terms, bulleted lists and chapter summaries emphasize the "need to know" information in every chapter. A combination of USMLE-style questions and image based questions in each chapter.

Learn to identify histological structures and their correlated functions! Histology: An Essential Textbook is a concise, multimedia study guide for medical students who need to learn the functions and related correlations of cells, tissues, and organs of the human body. Professor D.J. Lowrie, Jr. has written a unique and practical medical histology resource based on self-directed modules originally created to replace live histology laboratory sessions. This resource will help medical students learn how to identify histological structures on slide preparations and electron micrographs. Short videos by the author, who demonstrates structures via digitized histology slides, provide additional guidance. Shorter, targeted concepts and brief explanations accompanied by numerous illustrations, self-assessment quizzes, and videos demonstrating key features of histological structures set this resource apart from existing, text-dense books. Key Features Nearly 850 images, consisting primarily of electron and light micrographs, aid in identification of histological structures and long-term retention Correlation of histological structure with other basic science disciplines, such as gross anatomy, embryology, and pathology allows students to integrate material effectively Over 1000 online multiple choice questions and answers mirror exam topics students frequently encounter in curriculum and the USMLE® Nearly 375 videos provide a personal tutor that teaches students histological structures, while providing tips for proper identification This is a must-have self-study guide for medical students, as well as a stellar teaching tool for instructors.

This is a complete textbook on human histology for undergraduate medical students. It includes: - Concise text with functional correlation for quick recapitulation during examinations. - 117 photomicrographs to help identify the microscopic structures. - 122 flowcharts that help students to revise and memorize the microanatomy. - 106 practice figures (HE pencil drawings) which are easily reproducible in theory examinations. - 175 3D illustrations that provide a visual grasp of difficult concepts. - A summary (examination guide) to overcome the difficulty of summarizing the facts in written assessments. - Interesting facts to isolate them from main text, so that these facts should not be missed by the reader. - Clinical correlation for orientation towards pathogenesis of diseases (vertical integration).

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.

The new edition of this well-received text provides students with concise, current coverage of cell and molecular biology and classic morphology. It features a wealth of superb illustrations, including full-color light photomicrographs, electron micrographs, schematic diagrams, and drawings. Helpful tables summarize vital information for at-a-glance understanding, and summary statements highlight key material in each chapter.
