HISTOLOGY: A Text and Atlas [PART 1]
This sixth edition of Histology: A Text and Atlas with Correlated Cell and Molecular Biology continues a tradition of providing medical, dental, and allied health science students with a textual and visual introduction to histology with correlative cell biology. As in previous editions, this book is a combination
“text-atlas” in that standard textbook descriptions of histologic principles are supplemented by illustrations and photographs. In addition, separate atlas sections follow each chapter and provide
large-format, labeled atlas plates with detailed legends highlighting elements of microanatomy. Histology: A Text and Atlas is therefore “two books in one.”
Significant modifications have been made in this edition in order to create an even more useful and understandable approach to the material:
Updated cellular and molecular biology.
Material introduced in the fifth edition has been updated to include the latest advancements in cellular and molecular biology. The sixth edition focuses on selected information to help students with overall comprehension of the subject matter. To accommodate reviewers’ suggestions, the sixth edition also integrates
new cell biology information into several chapters. For instance, the cell biology of endothelial cells has been added to the discussion of the cardiovascular system; a section on primary cilia, including their structure and function, was added to the epithelial tissue chapter; a new clinical nomenclature for cells involved in hemopoiesis and a detailed description of the respiratory burst reaction in neutrophils were added to the chapter on blood; new information and diagrams of nerve fiber regeneration were added to the nerve tissue chapter; and the cell biology of taste receptors was incorporated into the chapter on the digestive system.
Reader-friendly innovations.
The book has been redesigned in an attempt to provide more ready access to important concepts and essential information. Additional color font is used in the body of the text. Important concepts are listed as sentence
headings. Features of cells, tissues, and organs and their functions, locations, and other relevant short phrases are formatted as bulleted lists that are clearly identifiable in the body of the text by oversized color bullets. Essential terms within each specific section are introduced in the text in an eye-catching
oversized red bolded font that clearly stands out from the remaining black text. Text containing clinical information or the latest research findings is presented in blue, with terminology pertaining to diseases, conditions, symptoms, or causative mechanisms in oversized bolded blue. The clinical sections of the text are easily found within each chapter.
