Netter's Essential Histology

Netter's Essential Histology integrates gross anatomy and embryology with classic histology slides and cutting-edge scanning electron microscopy to give you a rich visual understanding of this complex subject. This histology textbook-atlas has a strong anatomy foundation and utilizes a variety of visual elements - including Netter illustrations and light and electron micrographs - to teach you the most indispensible histologic concepts and their clinical relevance. Excellent as both a reference and a review, Netter's Essential Histology will serve you well at any stage of your healthcare career. "I am very impressed with this book's content and layout. It is obvious that the authors have spent a great deal of time in designing it. The publishers are also to be commended for the obvious financial investment they have made to produce such a resource. The placement of a table of contents at the beginning of each chapter and the inclusion of some embryology of organ systems are valuable additions. I would rate this book among the top five I have reviewed over the last 15 years and I am comfortable in stating that I know of no other comparative text of the same quality. It has been a pleasure to review this." "- Doody's Book Review Service"
""In summary, Netter's Essential Histology is an excellent textbook with exquisite illustrations and micrographs that provide a broad coverage of histology with clinical correlations. The concise textual material may be an advantage for students and faculty members faced with the continued reduction in time for teaching and learning with the anatomical disciplines in either integrated or traditional discipline-based curricula."" -American Association of Anatomists News

"This revised volume continues a very high standard of structural and function histology, which will benefit both undergraduate and postgraduate students in medicine and those non-medical scientists working human physiology and in animal models of human disease. The very high quality of the illustrations almost allows them to speak for themselves, but the images are supplemented by a lucid and succinct text which conveys basic histological information on both structure and function. The text is supplemented by text boxes which relate to human diseases and dysfunction cells and tissues, with an integrated and problem-based approach that is ideally suited to the current medical curriculum. It is felt in many UK medical schools that insufficient time is devoted to the teaching of histology and physiology
