The study of cell and tissue biology has been reoriented in this textbook to eliminate unnecessary gross or regional anatomy and to blend the structural components with relevant biochemistry, physiology, endocrinology, immunology and cell biology. Clinical correlations are incorporated throughout the text; the theme being one of integration, with histology as one component in a network of interrelated disciplines ranging from molecular biology to the function of the whole organism. This textbook seeks to enable students to analyse, and thereby distinguish, cells and tissues under the microscope and to understand how their individual activities are integrated into multifunctional organs.

The most important and distinguishing feature of this atlas is the exceptional quality of the histology images and electron micrographs. Each of these images has been expertly colour edited to match what is seen under the microscope. They amount to the finest collection of histological material available in a textbook aimed at medical students. Each image is accompanied by a detailed legend incorporating aspects of both structure and function in human health and disease.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.
