This book presents a vivid, visual tour of a complex and fascinating subject! This book uses a wealth of vivid, full-color images rather than dense text to help you master all the histology and cell biology information you need to prepare for your course exams as well as the USMLE Step 1. Clinical correlations drive home, the relevance of the material to clinical practice, and new Essential Concepts sections at the end of every chapter facilitate review. And now, online access via student consult makes this an even more effective learning resource!
