Preface
The scope of this book is to help students of medicine and biology to succeed with their histology classes and earn good grades while using less time on studying the histology curriculum. Almost all text of this book is written in bullets and put into lists, structured tables, and diagrams, which make it quick and easy to read and understand, and gives a good overview of the curriculum. Additionally, this organization of the text makes it easy to locate specific information, such as the dimensions of cellular structures or functions of cells and tissues. Most chapters include illustrations covering parts of the curriculum, which are otherwise difficult to interpret. Additionally, the book includes guides to practical histology, including simplified illustrations of histological specimens side by side with photomicrographs of the specimen. The guides follow the respective chapters and help the reader to distinguish between the different histological s
