This 13th edition of Junqueira’s Basic Histology, designed for undergraduate study across the health sciences, makes learning about the cellular structure of the body a pleasurable experience.
It begins by introducing techniques used to study biology at the cellular level, before going on to discuss the structural components of cells, the organisation of tissues and the histological study of the body systems.
The book has been extensively revised by Anthony L Mescher, professor of anatomy and cell biology at the Indiana University School of Medicine in the US. Its new page structure, layout and illustrations in book form and on CD build on its established reputation.
The text is concise and approachable, with detailed figures and key points at the end of each chapter. The inclusion of high-quality photomicrographs alongside medical illustrations is a key strength, providing a good framework for students to link histological structures with cellular physiology.
The CD-ROM allows for personalised note-taking, using the images in the text. This encourages a self-directed approach to learning.
Overall, this is a fantastic resource.

More than 600 full-color illustrations"
