While functional aspects have been added to correlate the structure of the tissue with its respective functions, applied aspects also have been elaborated to foresee the importance of histology during the clinical practice. A new chapter “Key to Identification of Histological Slides”, which would help the students in identifying the slides properly, has been added. Highlights of this edition are 10–25 viva voce questions with every chapter, and their answers at the end of the book.
All the photomicrographs are of human tissues which clearly depict the features seen in human tissues. The book chiefly provides the “must know” content of human histology, which forms the backbone of histopathology.
The book aims to serve as a valuable textbook for undergraduate students of medical sciences as well as other similar courses like BDS, and AYUSH. It will also be highly beneficial to BSc and MSc students of human anatomy.
