DiFiore's Atlas of Histology with Functional Correlations

diFiore's Atlas of Histology with Functional Correlations, Eleventh Edition, explains basic histology concepts through full-color, schematic illustrations. These illustrations are supplemented by more than 450 digitized full-color online photomicrographs of histological images. Part One explains tissues and their relationship to their systems; Part Two addresses organs in a similar way. Targeting undergraduate, allied health and first and second year medical students, the 11th Edition includes new and enhanced images through redrawing and digitization to provide increased detail. This edition also features updated illustrations and information on the functions of cells, tissues, and organs of the body based on advances in research and expert recommendations. The atlas' student-friendly "Functional Correlations" sections help students study structure and function together. Students also benefit from a "realistic" perspective as more than 70 micrographs appear adjacent to colour illustrations. A companion website offers student and instructor versions of diFiore's Interactive Atlas with all of the images from the book.

Features include:

• NEW New and enhanced images through redrawing and digitization provide increased detail.
• NEW Updated information illuminates the functions of cells, tissues, and organs of the body.
• NEW New images of transmission electron microscopy of the skeletal muscle to show the details of the sarcomere.
• NEW New scanning electron microscopy of the kidney glomerulus.
• NEW New transmission electron microscopy of the podocytes of the kidney.
• "Functional Correlations" sections help students study structure and function together.
• Idealized colour illustrations of cells and tissues for learning and review.
• Introductory sections to each chapter with text and figures.
• Over 70 micrographs adjacent to illustrations to provide a "realistic" perspective.
