Summary

The leading text of medical histology and microscopic anatomy! With a full-color design and OVER 600 photomicrographs and illustrations, this book continues to be the most authoritative histology text on the market. Revised to reflect the latest research in the field, this book emphasizes the relationships and concepts that link cell and tissue structures with their functions. A bonus image library CD-ROM featuring all the photos and illustrations from the text with '¬Szoom in'¬ and '¬Szoom out'¬ capability is also included.
