Book Description

February 15, 1999 0723430721 978-0723430728 1
Students who study with the ATLAS OF FUNCTIONAL HISTOLOGY obtain the most lifelike learning of tissues and organs. It features 600 realistic color histology sections and 150 electron micrographs. Each figure has a detailed caption outlining the structures and their function to the system or body as a whole. The book is organized by body system, each chapter beginning with an introduction of that system and its function. To help students assess their skills, a unique self-testing section asks them to differentiate between tissues of similar appearance through the use of multiple choice questions. Detailed rationale on each option of the multiple-choice questions helps them understand the differences in function of similar looking tissue. After using the atlas, students will be able to quickly and correctly identify histology sections and discuss the structures in relation to body function.

Presents the highest quality set of histology images ever published for medical students, so students realistically see on paper exactly what they would see down the microscope. Includes clinical correlations to make histology clinically relevant and much more interesting for students. Provides comprehensive captions telling students which structures they need to recognize and explaining the function of these structures. Provides unique "Lookalikes" feature, which allows students to test themselves by differentiating between similar looking tissues from different origins.

5.0 out of 5 stars Histology made easy, August 23, 2000
By 
"robmohr" (MELBOURNE, VICTORIA Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Atlas of Functional Histology, 1e (Paperback)
Finally a book that encompases the two facets of histology in equal proportions. The Atlas of Functional Histology not only has brilliant visual aspects, but moreover, it also ties in essential written commentary which more than complements. The picture quality is second to none which makes buying this text an easy decision.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learning the easy way and enjoying it..., March 24, 2000
By 
robyn vazquez (Portland, Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Atlas of Functional Histology, 1e (Paperback)
When I first opened this book, I was really overwelmed on how the pictures showed such detail. With such a subject, the author made it simple and precise easy enough to understand. I have learned a great deal from this book and it has helped me recap on some old things that I have forgotten. Even co-workers want a copy of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent atlas for histology, August 4, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Atlas of Functional Histology, 1e (Paperback)
I found this atlas very helpful for my histology class in med school. The pictures make histology a lot easier to understand. It also gives you an edge in the lab portion of the class. I also highly recommend the following: Histology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers ISBN: 0971999686
The second book helped me to evaluate the type of questions to prepare for in my histology exams. In other words, get both books because they are very helpful for any med student taking histology. I got an A- with the help of these books.
