Junqueira’s Basic Histology: Text and Atlas, Fifteenth Edition

Junqueiras Basic Histology Text and Atlas, Fifteenth Edition

Last edition Elsevier The text that has defined histology for generations?concise, clear, beautifully illustrated, and better than ever
For more than four decades, Junqueira’s Basic Histology has built a global reputation as the most accessible, yet comprehensive overview of human tissue structure and function available. This trusted classic delivers a well-organized and concise presentation of cell biology and histology that integrates the material with that of biochemistry, immunology, endocrinology, and physiology, and provides an excellent foundation for subsequent studies in pathology. Junqueira’s is written specifically for students of medicine and other health-related professions, as well as for advanced undergraduate courses in tissue biology – and there is nothing else like it.
