DiFiore's Atlas of Histology with Functional Correlations explains basic histology concepts through realistic, full-color composite and idealized illustrations of histologic structures. Added to the illustrations are actual photomicrographs of similar structures, a popular trademark of the atlas. All structures are directly correlated with the most important and essential functional correlations, allowing students to efficiently learn histologic structures and their major functions at the same time. This new edition features a new chapter on cell biology accompanied by both drawings and representative photomicrographs of the main stages in the cell cycle during mitosis. The contents are reorganized into four parts, progressing logically from Methods and Microscopy through Tissues and Systems.
