Junqueira's Basic Histology: Text and Atlas, 17th Edition

Junqueira's Basic Histology: Text and Atlas

Mescher, Anthony L., ed.
2024; Seventeenth edition.

This 17th edition of Junqueira's Basic Histology: Text and Atlas continues to emphasize the features that have made it a preferred resource for over 50 years, for both students in the health professions and undergraduates internationally. Foremost among these features are (1) its concise and straightforward text which provides all information on human histology such students require without unnecessary detail and (2) its excellent blend of high-quality photomicrographs and clear, uncluttered, well-labeled illustrations. Each chapter-covering histological methods, fundamentals of cell biology, the biology of the basic tissues, and each of the body's organ systems-maintains a focus on these attributes while also being up-to-date and including other features not found in competing textbooks.
