Description
The Ninth Edition of this classic histology atlas correlates tissue structure to function. Through illustration and four-color photomicrographs it juxtaposes idealized views with real life ones. With 59 high-quality photomicrographs and three-dimensional, computer-generated overview art, this book magnifies the minutia of organ and tissue structure to show which microscopic structures perform what functions and how said functions work. The functional correlations sections correlate with and directly relate to specific illustrations of tissues as organs. Part One explains tissues and their relationship to their respective systems. Part two addresses organs in similar fashion.

A reference for students of histology. After an introductory chapter on how solid and hollow structures change shape on a flat slide, sections cover various types of tissues and organs. This ninth edition offers 59 color photomicrographs of selected tissues and organs to supplement color composite illustrations, as well as new three- dimensional, computer-generated illustrations as lead-in art for each chapter. For this edition, material on functional correlations is placed directly below illustrations of specific structures. This edition is also updated to reflect enhanced understanding in the field since 1996. The author is professor of anatomy in the department of biological sciences, WWAMI Medical Program, University of Idaho. Wire circular binding. Annotation c.
