This user-friendly text and atlas combination is filled with clear explanations, art, and micrographs to elucidate key concepts and facilitate learning

For five decades, Junqueira’s Basic Histology has been considered the hands-down best overview of human tissue structure and function. Accessible yet comprehensive, this updated edition provides everything readers need to know about cell biology and histology, integrating the material with that of biochemistry, immunology, endocrinology, and physiology. With coverage of all tissues, every organ system, organs, bone and cartilage, blood, skin, and more, Junqueira’s is an excellent foundation for subsequent studies in pathology.

Formatted in a way that optimizes the learning process, Junqueira’s explains how to study the structures of cells and tissues; the cell cytoplasm and nucleus; and the four basic tissue types and their role in the organ systems. Each chapter includes multiplechoice self-test questions enabling readers to assess their comprehension of important material; some questions utilizing clinical vignettes or cases to provide real-world relevance.
