A wealth of electron micrographs and color micrographs demonstrate cell, tissue, and organ structure
A complete art program integrates illustrations and diagrams of cells and tissues to highlight structural-functional correlates
Helpful tables of histological features in each chapter summarize key concepts
A succinct style and format makes it easy to quickly find important information
Chapters begin with a list of key points
