Human Microanatomy is a comprehensive histology text that analyzes human structure and function from the subcellular to organ level of organization. In addition to emphasizing medically relevant information, each chapter considers developmental and evolutionary aspects of microanatomy while also using celebrity medical histories to help provide real-world context for accompanying descriptions of normal histology. The book is richly illustrated with over 1400 full-color micrographs and drawings assembled into cohesive groupings with detailed captions to help elucidate key histological concepts. Text illustrations are further supplemented by hundreds of other light and electron micrographs available in a free digital atlas covering a broad spectrum of microanatomy. Each text chapter also includes a preview, pictorial summary, and self-study quiz to highlight and review essential elements of histology. By incorporating features like medical histories, biological correlates, and various study aids, Human Microanatomy provides an appealing and informative treatment of histology for readers who are interested in the structural bases of cell, tissue, and organ functioning.

Reviews for Human Microanatomy: Cell Tissue and Organ Histology with Celebrity Medical Histories

I like [the] textbook draft. It combines the material in a different way and the text is quite clearly written. Dr. C. Franzini-Armstrong, USA I really enjoyed reading the [bone] chapter and am amazed at how well [it] waded through the... literature. Dr. S. Weiner, Israel I loved to read the historical and personal cases; they make the whole book very special... Dr. F. Alessandrini, Germany I read with great pleasure [the] chapter on the connective tissue proper, [which] managed to pack a very comprehensive description of the topic in a compact, readable format. Dr. M. Raspanti, Italy I am impressed that [the author has] undertaken such a vast subject and conveyed it as well as [he has] in the chapters I reviewed. Dr. E. Bossen, USA
