This full color atlas of histology offers a large collection of original photomicrographs of all tissue types. Beginning with the cell (the basic structural and functional unit of a tissue), the text follows with chapters that thoroughly introduce the different types of tissues: epithelium, connective, nervous, and muscular.

  • Each chapter begins with a brief overview about the types of tissues illustrated in the chapter and explains how they fit into the understanding of how the body functions.
  • Magnifications are given for each micrograph, and in many cases, the same tissue is presented at varying magnifications allowing for more in-depth learning.
  • Full-color illustrations of key structures or concepts are carefully labeled, making it easy for students to identify what they are looking at; and captions are detailed and explain the importance of the structures being identified.
