Histology and Cell Biology: An Introduction to Pathology

The first text to integrate microscopic anatomy with cell biology, general pathology, and physiology, Histology and Cell Biology: An Introduction to Pathology, Sixth Edition, continues to set the standard for studying today’s rapidly evolving, molecular-oriented medicine. Drs. Abraham L. Kierszenbaum and Laura L. Tres present essential concepts in an accessible, easy-to-understand manner, with full-color illustrations, diagrams, photomicrographs, and pathology photos fully integrated on every page. Linking pathological conditions to basic sciences throughout, this award-winning text helps you build a substantial clinical knowledge base while learning the structure and function of normal organs. Provides cover-to-cover updates throughout, reflecting current terminology, basic science, and clinical concepts Includes new material at the beginning of each chapter that assists you with the microscope as you first encounter the architectural complexity of tissues or organs Includes Primers in most chapters that provide a practical, self-contained integration of histology, cell biology, and pathology, helping you understand the relationship between basic and clinical sciences Contains Essential Concepts at the end of each chapter highlighting relevant issues-perfect for studying and reviewing for in-course and board examinations Uses a light green background throughout the text to identify essential concepts of histology-a feature requested by both students and instructors to quickly locate which concepts are most important for beginning learners or when time is limited Identifies clinical terms throughout the text and lists all clinical boxes in the table of contents for quick reference Helps you understand the links between chapter concepts with concept mapping animations online, providing a dynamic supplement to in-class instruction An eBook version is included with purchase.
