Now in its Fifth Edition, this best-selling atlas provides medical, dental, allied health, and biology students with an outstanding collection of histology images for all of the major tissue classes and body systems. This is a compact lab atlas with relevant concise text and consistent format presentation of photomicrograph plates. With a handy spiral binding that allows ease of use, it features a full-color art program comprising over 500 high-quality photomicrographs, scanning electron micrographs, and drawings. Didactic text at the beginning of each chapter includes an Introduction, Histophysiology, Clinical Correlations, and Overview.A companion Website includes an interactive atlas and a question bank. The interactive atlas contains all the photomicrographs and electron micrographs and accompanying legends from the atlas. Images may be viewed with or without the labels and/or legends, enlarged, or compared side-by-side. A "hotspot" feature allows students to self-test on the labeling. Doody Review Services Reviewer:Bruce A. Fenderson, PhD(Thomas Jefferson University)Description:Histology is the science of biological design at the cellular and tissue level of complexity. Mastery of this body of knowledge enables students to evaluate normal tissue differentiation and provides a foundation for understanding pathologic aspects of disease. This updated atlas of histology includes illuminating text, exciting color graphics, beautiful full-color plates, and relevant clinical correlations. The 19 chapters cover important topics from cells and tissues to special sensory organs. Purpose:According to the authors, the aim of this book is to "help the student learn and enjoy histology, [and] not be overwhelmed with it." With this in mind, they have compiled material that is complete, but not esoteric. This color atlas is designed to assist students in the laboratory and help them prepare for both didactic and practical examinations.Audience:The audience includes students of medicine, dentistry, nursing, and allied health professions (e.g., cytotechnology and laboratory science). Undergraduates in the biological sciences will also appreciate this book, written by expert scientists and educators.Features:This compact, spiral-bound book is a joy to read. It is color-coded to help busy students navigate. The chapters contain colorful boxes that highlight clinical correlations and provide keys for the image labels. Each chapter includes an introduction, colorful graphics, histophysiology review (biochemical and cellular mechanisms), full-color photomicrographs, and a short summary of key points. The full-color illustrations and micrographs are outstanding and educational. A variety of ancillary learning resources are available online, including searchable access to the text and figures, a bank of additional photomicrographs for self-study, and many hundreds of practice test questions, 100 of which are based on photomicrographs and constructed in the style of the USMLE. Images online may be viewed with or without labels and students may zoom and compare images. New software allows students to test themselves on image labels in the "hot-spot" quiz mode.Assessment:This is a wonderful book for students of medicine and the life sciences. The authors combine traditional topics in histology with modern research findings in cell biology and medical physiology. The book is comprehensive, yet concise. It is colorful, well organized, and visually attractive. Thumbnails of the color graphics help students relate the photomicrographs to cells and tissues and organs. The quality of the photomicrographs and electron micrographs is excellent. This is the body of information that students of microscopic anatomy need to know to understand the foundations of clinical medicine and succeed on future licensing examinations. In addition to learning core concepts, students are presented with a vision of biological design that underlies the beauty of human morphology.
