From Cells to Organs

The study of microscopic structures of cells, tissues, and organs has often been taught as a matter of memorization. The approach presented in this text/CD-ROM package is based on the understanding that the microscopic structure of the body has a logic. The text and accompanying b&w images are organized to proceed from anatomy and morphology through discussion of the functions of various kinds of cells, tissues, and organs. Introductory chapters explain the use of microscopes and histologic sections in histology and review histochemistry.
