Textbook in PDF format

Combining a reader-friendly textbook and a rich, full-color atlas, Histology: A Text and Atlas: With Correlated Cell and Molecular Biology, 9th Edition, equips medical, dental, health professions, and undergraduate biology and cell biology students with a comprehensive grasp of the clinical and functional correlates of histology and a vivid understanding of the structural and functional details of cells, tissues, and organs. The 9th Edition of this bestselling resource reflects the latest advances in cellular and molecular biology and relevant imaging techniques, accompanied by large, high-resolution illustrations and full-color photomicrographs that clarify microanatomy in vibrant detail. System chapters align conveniently with curricula units and emphasize a clinical context, making this proven approach ideal for integrated curricula as well as standalone histology courses. To accommodate reviewers’ suggestions, the ninth edition integrates new information in cell biology with clinical correlates, which readers will see as new clinical information items highlighted in blue text and in clinical boxes (called “Folders”). For example, the last few years of the COVID-19 pandemic has sparked interest about the changes in normal tissue when infected by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus. Several chapters contain descriptions of these changes with underlying explanations of cellular and molecular mechanisms and clinical features presented by patients. Additional changes include the following: Methods Cell Cytoplasm The Cell Nucleus Tissues: Concept and Classification Epithelial Tissue Connective Tissue Cartilage Bone Adipose Tissue Blood Muscle Tissue Nerve Tissue Cardiovascular System Immune System and Lymphatic Tissues and Organs Integumentary System Digestive System I: Oral Cavity and Associated Structures Digestive System II: Esophagus and Gastrointestinal Tract Digestive System III: Liver, Gallbladder, and Pancreas Respiratory System Urinary System Endocrine Organs Male Reproductive System Female Reproductive System Eye Ear
