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 Eleventh 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 color illustrations.
A companion Website offers student and instructor versions of diFiore's Interactive Atlas with all of the images from the book.
This would've made a 5/5 if only the images were aligned with their descriptions. The book's organisation greatly undermines it because its discontinuous nature wastes a lot of time as the reader repeatedly turns pages to corroborate an image's description with its presentation. It would be much easier to use if an image was immediately followed by its description to maintain continuousness.
Clearly labeled images and easy to understand text. Excellent clinical connections found in the texts, especially the functional correlations. Easy to navigate with it's sections and inclusive appendix. Will definitely be checking out other textbooks by the author and publisher.
best described and labeled diagrams with descriptive text and a short summary after every chapter is what makes this book all in one, weather you want to read it in details or want to have a review on exam night.
