Description
Through the extensive use of scanning electron micrographs – correlated in many cases with diagrams, light photomicrographs, and transmission electron micrographs – the authors are able to literally show the reader the basic tissue types that form the organs of the body. Each chapter includes an introductory synopsis of the basic concepts to be covered and features illustrations whose accompanying text describes the structures shown and explains their functional significance. The book includes more than 700 micrographs and diagrams, with many tissues presented first at low magnification and then followed stepwise increases so that the ready always remains properly orientated.
Tissues and Organs is so aesthetically striking that it will be of interest to a wide range of readers. It is especially valuable as a text for courses in biology, physiology, zoology, and anatomy as well as for students of medicine, dentistry, pharmacology, and nursing. As a reference work, it is an important addition to personal and institutional libraries.
Softcover. 301 pages. In good preloved condition with the exception of some minor wear to cover and a small section of the first page (before the title page) where an owner’s name has been cut out. A fascinating book and not commonly available for purchase.
