Learn to identify histological structures and their correlated functions! Histology: An Essential Textbook is a concise, multimedia study guide for medical students who need to learn the functions and related correlations of cells, tissues, and organs of the human body. Professor D.J. Lowrie, Jr. has written a unique and practical medical histology resource based on self-directed modules originally created to replace live histology laboratory sessions. This resource will help medical students learn how to identify histological structures on slide preparations and electron micrographs. Short videos by the author, who demonstrates structures via digitized histology slides, provide additional guidance. Shorter, targeted concepts and brief explanations accompanied by numerous illustrations, self-assessment quizzes, and videos demonstrating key features of histological structures set this resource apart from existing, text-dense books. Key Features Nearly 850 images, consisting primarily of electron and light micrographs, aid in identification of histological structures and long-term retention Correlation of histological structure with other basic science disciplines, such as gross anatomy, embryology, and pathology allows students to integrate material effectively Over 1000 online multiple choice questions and answers mirror exam topics students frequently encounter in curriculum and the USMLE® Nearly 375 videos provide a personal tutor that teaches students histological structures, while providing tips for proper identification This is a must-have self-study guide for medical students, as well as a stellar teaching tool for instructors.

A visual guideline of histologic information essential for prospective physicians and other health care professionals. It aids students and specialists studying slides under a microscope and examining digitized images on a computer screen. It facilitates recognition and interpretation of microscopic sections and provides relevant frames of reference for understanding basic histologic principles. It helps clarify lectures, supplements standard textbooks, and provides a comprehensive review for course examinations. It also assists students in preparing for National Board and Licensing Examinations. Finally, the book is intended to awaken readers to both the intricacies of the human body and the sheer beauty of its cells, tissues and organ systems.

Thoroughly updated to reflect all of the latest concepts and advances in the field, this concise, extensively illustrated text presents the basic science and clinical application of cellular and molecular biology. Functioning as a combined text and atlas, it is essentially two books for the price of one providing a comprehensive, visually engaging histology education from the ground up. Illustrations, tables, chapter summaries and multiple choice questions facilitate comprehension of concepts, and clinical correlations underscore the practical relevance of the material. Superb illustrations—including photomicrographs, electron micrographs, schematic diagrams and drawings—provide a visual grasp and easier retention of difficult concepts. Clinical correlations throughout the text demonstrate clinical applications and reinforce the idea that histology is pertinent not only to pathology and physiology, but in fact comprises one of the essential bases of clinical practice. New! "Pathological Considerations" section at the end of each chapter. Helpful tables provide an at-a-glance summary statement of key points. Bolded key terms, bulleted lists and chapter summaries emphasize the "need to know" information in every chapter. A combination of USMLE-style questions and image based questions in each chapter.

Designed not only as a reference textbook but also as a tool for students preparation for USMLE examinations, this book follows the traditional and logical sequence of cells to tissues to organs, the discussion on mitosis, the discussion on meiosis, and a consideration of the reproductive systems and has learning units and vocabulary.

Hewer's Textbook of Histology for Medical Students, Ninth Edition Revised focuses on the minute structure of the cells, tissues, and organs of the human body and the reactions of tissues and cells to various conditions. The publication first elaborates on the techniques used in the study of cells and tissues, cell and cell division, and epithelia. Discussions focus on the qualitative and quantitative methods for the identification of the composition of cells and tissues, surface membrane of the cell, cytoplasmic contents, and the nucleus. The text then examines blood and lymph, development and destruction of blood corpuscles, and connective tissues. The manuscript takes a look at adipose tissue, cartilage, and bone, including development and functions of adipose tissue, hyaline cartilage, fibro-cartilage, elastic cartilage, and joints and synovial membranes. The book then ponders on muscular tissue, nervous tissue, peripheral nerves, ganglia, neuroglia, and meninges, blood circulatory system, lymphatic system, thymus, and spleen, and adrenals, thyroid, and parathyroid glands. The publication is a valuable reference for medical students and readers interested in the structure of the cells, organs, and tissues of the human body.

A strong grounding in basic histology is essential for all pathologists. However, there had always been a gap between histology and pathology in which histologic information specifically for the pathologist was often lacking. Histology for Pathologists deals with the microscopic features of normal human tissues, from the perspective of the surgical pathologist. This is the only text that uses human (vs. animal) tissues for the histology. It is the best reference in the literature for information on normal histology, and, as such, is essential for all clinical pathologists. Written by pathologists for pathologists, the new edition updates the pathologist's understanding of normal histology up to date with the incremental advances made in the last five years. The 3rd edition has become a "classic" purchased by virtually all residents beginning their pathology training, as well as pathologists in practice. The 4th edition builds on that substantial foundation. The table of contents remains essentially the same with the exception of some changes in authorship.

Third edition of acclaimed, richly illustrated textbook is the definitive resource for learning challenging anatomy! While the relevance of anatomy to medical diagnosis and treatment continually evolves, anatomical knowledge will always be instrumental to effective treatment of patients. Building on the tradition of the highly acclaimed prior editions, Anatomy: An Essential Textbook, Third Edition by Anne M. Gilroy features new learning components that leverage the Thieme companion, Atlas of Anatomy, Fourth Edition. Concise, bulleted text paired with large, detailed anatomic figures enhance visual learning and retention of knowledge. Organized by eight units, the book starts with basic concepts and a general overview of anatomic systems. Subsequent units focused on regional anatomy cover the Back, Thorax, Abdominal Wall and Inguinal Region, Pelvis and Perineum, Upper Limb, Lower Limb, and Head and Neck. Each unit includes a chapter on the practical application of regional imaging and extensive question sets with detailed explanations. A new ordering of chapters now mirrors the revised organization of the Atlas and sequence of dissections in most gross anatomy programs. More than 100 new images, updated illustrations, and revised versions of all autonomic schematics enhance understanding of anatomy New topics in clinical and developmental anatomy addressed throughout include clinically important vascular anastomoses, spinal cord development, and common anatomic anomalies Matching colored side tabs allow quick access to similar units in both books Over 50 of the new and previously included clinical and developmental correlations now feature descriptive images, radiographs, or schematics Self-testing sections in each unit have been expanded with over 40 new USMLE-style question sets with detailed explanations This is the quintessential resource for medical students to build anatomy knowledge and confidence as they progress in their medical careers.
