Histology and Cell Biology: An Introduction to Pathology

By Abraham L. Kierszenbaum and Laura L. Tres

Histology and Cell Biology: An Introduction to Pathology uses a wealth of vivid, full-color images to help you master histology and cell biology. Dr. Abraham L. Kierszenbaum presents an integrated approach that correlates normal histology with cellular and molecular biology, pathology, and clinical medicine throughout the text. A unique pictorial approach-through illustrative diagrams, photomicrographs, and pathology photographs-paired with bolded words, key clinical terms in red, and clinical boxes and "Essential Concepts" boxes that summarize important facts give you everything you need to prepare for your course exams as well as the USMLE Step 1.

Access the fully searchable text online at studentconsult.com, along with USMLE-style multiple-choice review questions, and online only references.

Easily find and cross-reference information through a detailed table of contents that highlights clinical examples in red.

Review material quickly using pedagogical features, such as Essential Concept boxes, bolded words, and key clinical terms marked in red, that emphasize key details and reinforce your learning.

Integrate cell biology and histology with pathology thanks to vivid descriptive illustrations that compare micrographs with diagrams and pathological images. Apply the latest developments in pathology through updated text and new illustrations that emphasize appropriate correlations.

Expand your understanding of clinical applications with additional clinical case boxes that focus on applying cell and molecular biology to clinical conditions.

Effectively review concepts and reinforce your learning using new Concept Map flow charts that provide a framework to illustrate the integration of cell-tissue-structure-function within a clinical-pathology context.

Customer Reviews

excellent seller.

Excellent Seller. Item received promptly! Post office made a note that the book was slightly damaged in transit, but it's perfectly fine! Thanks!

a great well prepared comprehensive book

This is the first book combining both histology, molecular biology and pathology together in a clear language and very well organized fashion. Thanks a lot to you and to the author for his effort.

Great book for histology class

The pictures were the selling point in this book. It did go a little too far in depth for my histology class at the time, talking about subunit x of protein y connects to this subunit in this way. However, it became more useful when I got to phys and path. The diagrams were everything, and they supplemented the text well. It did not have as many real microscopic pictures as Wheaters, but I found the drawings more useful than just staring at a light pink blob by a darker pink blob.

A Must have for Histology

This book is a wonderful resource for anyone that is in histology! Unlike other books, it does a great job of illustrating identifying characteristics of certian cells and tissues. It is very well written and easy to follow, but it is not an oversimplification or dumbed down at all. It is simply a great book!
