Histology: A Text and Atlas, Sixth edition

Histology: A Text and Atlas (Histology) 6th Edition authored by Michael H. Ross. Histology: A Text and Atlas is ideal for medical, well being professions, and undergraduate biology students. This book mixture textual content and atlas includes a detailed textbook description that emphasizes medical and purposeful correlates of histology, absolutely supplemented by vividly informative illustrations and photographs. Separate, beautifully illustrated atlas sections observe virtually every chapter and feature large-size, full-shade digital micrographs, with labels and legends that spotlight details of microanatomy.

For this edition, approximately 20 p.c of the micrographs have been replaced with newly enhanced, sharper images. One third of the illustrations have been redrawn in a new style.

The guide is divided into 24 chapters, with chapters by system, tissue kind, primary cell biology as well as tissue/slide preparation. Each chapter covers the anatomy and physiology of the system or tissue in question extraordinarily well. The text gets right to the purpose, however is still very complete in its explanations. Inside each paragraph, key words are bolded in purple, so you possibly can shortly find the exact topic you have an interest in within a subject. All subjects are supplemented with totally labelled mild and electron photomicrographs of every construction, tissue and cell. Illustrations additionally accompany a majority of the micrographs to make clear things.

All illustrations and micrographs are totally labelled. Inside text pictures are usually 1/four to half page in size, and each chapter has its own set of full-page color plates for even better up-shut visualization and study. The complete-page color photomicrographs at the end of every chapter are totally labelled, but go even further than that with actual descriptions of every label on the opposing page. That is actually superb, because, for example, on a slide of the kidney that I used to be learning, not solely had been the proximal and distal tubules and collecting ducts labelled, there have been additionally accompanying descriptions on the opposing page as to why one was totally different from one other in these very similar wanting structures. With labels alone I would have had a difficult time identifying these buildings on my own slides, but with the added description accompanying each label as to why one was slightly completely different from one other, I can now simply pick out the nuances of each that differentiate them.

An added plus are the scientific correlations (several per chapter) in addition to online access to the e book with a particular “scratch-off” code inside the entrance cover. I also like that chapters have a coloration strip and subject title (e.g. ovary) down the lateral margin of each page; this makes it extraordinarily simple to search out the part/matter you might be in search of by merely thumbing the pages versus having to look within the table of contents to seek out the chapter/web page for the system you’re after.

Notice that the book does have a smooth cowl, so if you’re going to be carrying it round with you, you may want to put a plastic laminate on it to protect it. The pages themselves are all in full-coloration on high quality, semi-gloss stock. Complete pages are 974 and the e book itself is just a bit over 1 inch thick.
