Description
CHAPMAN & HALL Bloom & Fawcett Concise Histology by Fawcett D W
This text covers the basic facts and interpretation of microscopic anatomy. It emphasizes the relationship and concepts by which cell and tissue structure are inextricably linked with their function. Numerous photomicrographs and electron micrographs should amplify the text and remind the user of the laboratory basis of the study of histology. An atlas section containing 105 color plates is also included. Emphasis on diagrams, illustrations, and charts that summarize morphologic and functional features of cells, tissues, and organs, and inclusion of clinical correlations in each chapter to further illustrate the direct application of basic histological information to diagnosis, prognosis, pathobiology, and clinical aspects of disease, should appeal to students, who are anxious to see how the basic sciences taught in the first two years of medical school relate to the clinical aspects thereafter. This book should be of interest to first/second year medical students.
