Synopsis:
  1. Featuring more than 1000 state-of-the-art photographs and drawings, Junqueira's has been the leading text in medical histology and microscopic anatomy for more than three decades. This 14th edition has been revised to feature a new full-colour presentation, new art, and the addition of an online learning centre.
Review:
  1. This book of basic histology is one of the best resource of histology written by Anthony S. Mescher. This book of histology has 14 editions. And is one of the best selling histology book. Many of the students who want to study histology in depth study this book. So, if you are an undergraduate and want to study histology deeply you should consult this books. Also this is a great resource for those who are postgraduate students of histology or histo-pathology.
Description:
  1. The most authoritative, current, and beautifully illustrated histology text available NEW clinical vignettes have been added to each chapter Full-color, easy-to-understand drawings provide just the right level of detail necessary to reinforce key concepts and facilitate comprehension and retention of text material NEW chapter-ending multiple-choice questions review must-know material For more than three decades, Junqueira's Basic Histology has been unmatched in its ability to explain the function of cell and tissue structure in the human body. Updated to reflect the latest research in the field, and enhanced with more than 1,000 illustrations, most in full-color, the Fourteenth Edition reflects the most comprehensive and modern approach to understanding medical histology available anywhere. This well-regarded classic is distinguished by chapters focusing on the cytoplasmic and nuclear compartment of the cell, the four basic tissues that form the organs, and each organ system. In response to reader demand, the legends are now concise, stand-alone summaries of the illustrations. Applauded for its visual appeal, Junqueira’s is enhanced by full-color micrographs that comprise a complete atlas of tissue sections. These state-of-the-art micrographs highlight the important features of every tissue and organ in the human body, while full-color, easy-to-understand drawings provide just the right level of detail necessary to clarify the text and make learning easier.
Key Features:
  1. Recognized for more than three decades as the most authoritative, comprehensive, and effective approach to understanding medical histology
  2. Unmatched in its ability to explain the relationship between cell and tissues structure and their function in the human body
  3. Updated to the latest research and development on each topic.
  4. New and additional medical applications throughout each chapter provide clinical relevance for every subject
  5. New design incorporates full color for each figure and table in addition to color micrographs of each cell and tissue.
  6. Figure legends summarize and provide easy access to key points of each topic
  7. Author anthony L. Mescher, Ph.D. has over 30 years' experience teaching cell biology and histology to medical students
  8. Summaries of key points at the end of each chapter list main points concisely for very easy review
  9. Many new tables help integrate each histological topic with relevant physiological aspects of the system
  10. New, detailed tables of contents within each chapter
Summary:
Explains the function of cell and tissue structure in the human body. Updated to reflect the research in the field, and enhanced with more than 1,000 illustrations, this title includes chapters focusing on the cytoplasmic and nuclear compartment of the cell, the four basic tissues that form the organs, and each organ system.
Abstract:
This new edition of the best-selling English edition of Junqueira's Basic Histology: Text & Atlas will be available in late 2015. This textbook is written for advanced undergraduate students and medical students seeking a concise yet complete presentation of human microscopic anatomy or histology. Previous editions of this textbook have been translated into over 10 languages and are used in medical colleges worldwide. With the best art program of any histology textbook and the most comprehensive presentation of light and electron micrographs to illustrate all cells and tissues of the human body. The new edition of Junqueira is the best tool yet for gaining a modern understanding of the structural and functional relationships underlying physiology, cell biochemistry, and pathology.
Preface:
With this 14th edition, Junqueira's Basic Histology continues as the preeminent source of concise yet thoroughinformation on human tissue structure and function. For nearly 45 years this educational resource has met the needs of learners for 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. The text is prepared specifically for students of medicine and other health-related professions, as well as for advanced undergraduate courses in tissue biology. As a result of its value and appeal to students and instructors alike, Junqueira's Basic Histology has been translated into a dozen different languages and is used by medical students throughout the world. This edition now includes with each chapter a set of multiple-choice Self-Test Questions that allow readers to assess their comprehension and knowledge of important material in that chapter. At least a few questions in each set utilize clinical vignettes or cases to provide context for framing the medical relevance of concepts in basic science, as recommended by the US National Board of Medical Examiners. As with the last edition, each chapter also includes a Summary of Key Points designed to guide the students concerning what is clearly important and what is less so. Summary Tables in each chapter organize and condense important information, further facilitating efficient learning. Each chapter has been revised and shortened, while coverage of specific topics has been expanded as needed. Study is facilitated by modern page design. Inserted throughout each chapter are more numerous, short paragraphs that indicate how the information presented can be used medically and which emphasize the foundational relevance of the material learned. The art and other figures are presented in each chapter, with the goal to simplify learning and integration with related material. The McGraw-Hill medical illustrations, now used throughout the text and supplemented by numerous animations in the electronic version of the text, are the most useful, thorough, and attractive of any similar medical textbook. Electron and light micrographs have been replaced throughout the book as needed, and again make up a complete atlas of cell, tissue, and organ structures fully compatible with the students' own collection of glass or digital slides. A virtual microscope with over 150 slides of all human tissues and organs is available: http://medsci.indiana.edu/junqueira/virtual/junqueira.htm. As with the previous edition, the book facilitates learning by its organization: • An opening chapter reviews the histological techniques that allow understanding of cell and tissue structure. • Two chapters then summarize the structural and functional organization of human cell biology, presenting the cytoplasm and nucleus separately. • The next seven chapters cover the four basic tissues that make up our organs: epithelia, connective tissue (and its major sub-types), nervous tissue, and muscle. • Remaining chapters explain the organization and functional significance of these tissues in each of the body's organ systems, closing with up-to-date consideration of cells in the eye and ear. For additional review of what's been learned or to assist rapid assimilation of the material in Junqueira's Basic Histology, McGraw-Hill has published a set of 200 full-color Basic Histology Flash Cards, Anthony Mescher author. Each card includes images of key structures to identify, a summary of important facts about those structures, and a clinical comment. This valuable learning aid is available as a set of actual cards from Amazon.com, or as an app for smart phones or tablets from the online App Store. With its proven strengths and the addition of new features, I am confident that Junqueira's Basic Histology will continue as one of the most valuable and most widely read educational resources in histology. Users are invited to provide feedback to the author with regard to any aspect of the book's features. Anthony L. Mescher Indiana University School of Medicine mescher@indiana.edu
