Bridging the gap between textbook diagrams and the complex reality of histological preparations, this magnificent atlas of human microanatomy is designed to help students understand the complex structures encountered when viewing microscopic sections of tissues. Instead of simply depicting an individual section, each drawing is a compilation of the key structures and features seen in many preparations from similar tissues or organs. Invaluable to students in a range of life science and medical disciplines including human and veterinary medicine, dentistry, mammalian biology, pharmacy, and nursing.

"Atlas of Histopathology delivers about 500 full-color microphotographs with detailed markings and annotations that illustrate and explain key aspects of systematic pathology."--Publisher's website

With hundreds of color photomicrographs and illustrations, this atlas covers the cell, epithelium and glands, connective tissues, cartilage and bone, blood and hemopoiesis, muscle, nervous tissue, the circulatory system, lymphoid tissue, the endocrine system, integument, respiratory system, digestive and urinary systems, male and female reproductive systems and the eye and ear. Each chapter includes a short introduction and essential concepts, histopathology, and clinical considerations. All the illustrations have been reshot in digital format for this edition, and the CD-ROM included is interactive and contains all the photomicrographs in the text.
