This book explains basic histology concepts through full-color, schematic illustrations. These illustrations are supplemented by more than 450 digitized full-color photomicrographs of histological images. Part One explains tissues and their relationship to their systems; Part Two addresses organs in a similar way. This new edition includes new and enhanced images through redrawing and digitization to provide increased detail. This edition also features updated illustrations and information on the functions of cells, tissues, and organs of the body based on advances in research and expert recommendations. diFiore's Atlas of Histology with Functional Correlations explains basic histology concepts through realistic, full-color composite and idealized illustrations of histologic structures. Added to the illustrations are actual photomicrographs of similar structures, a popular trademark of the atlas. All structures are directly correlated with the most important and essential functional correlations, allowing students to efficiently learn histologic structures and their major functions at the same time. This new edition features: Expanded Introduction on basic histology techniques and staining as well as a more comprehensive list of stains that students may encounter in their histology course New chapter on cell biology accompanied by both drawings and representative photomicrographs of the main stages in the cell cycle during mitosis Contents reorganized into four parts, progressing logically from Methods and Microscopy through Tissues and Systems Improved art program with digitally enhanced images to provide increased detail More than 40 new photomicrograph images, including light and transmission electron micrographs Student Resources: Online E-book, Interactive Question Bank for chapter review, and Interactive Atlas featuring all images from the book + more than 450 additional micrographs diFiore's Atlas of Histology is the perfect resource for medical and graduate histology students.
