Synopsis:

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.

About the Author: Jeff Kerr's initial research training in developmental biology and experimental cytology was at Flinders University (Adelaide).This was followed by a PhDin reproductive biology at Monash University (Melbourne). As a CJ Martin research fellow of the NH & MRC of Australia, Jeff Kerr's postdoctoral research was at the MRC Reproductive Biology Unit in Edinburgh. Jeff Kerr served as adviser to WHO (Geneva) for six years and has authored over 100 scientific publications. He has taught anatomy, histology, cell biology and embryology in both the Medical and Science faculties at Monash for over 20 years. His main research interests are in testis and ovarian function with joint research programs with colleagues in Edinburgh, University of Cambridge, and AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals.
