_5Preface
Dear readers the aim in writing this book is to provide a comprehensive basic knowledge of histology of various organs for the undergraduate students of medicine and dentistry. As I have passion for teaching and having worked on both developmental anatomy and microscopic anatomy for several years I thought of bringing out a basic histology textbook and a color atlas incorporating the slides I used to teach several batches of my students. The salient features of this book are:
- Simple language and presentation of material in the form of points for ease of understanding, remembering and reproduction by the students who read the subject of histology for the first time.
- Simple illustrations in the form of line diagrams, flow charts and several photographs of histological sections at various magnifications.
- Organization of book in 22 chapters starting with introduction to histology, microscopy and preparation of tissues for microscopy with a smooth transition from one chapter to other.
- Organization of each system in an orderly fashion starting with brief overview or introduction of the system with an illustration representing the whole system and the microscopic sections of importance. This is followed by classification of various components in an easy-to-understand plate showing the gross and histological pictures. Then microscopic structure of each organ and subcomponents of a tissue are presented point-wise for remembering. The hand drawn images of tissues will facilitate the students in drawing in their workbook and in the examination.
- Brief clinical importance of each structure was presented in boxes.
- Details of ultrastructural were provided for some with diagrammatic representations.
- A brief note on development of the various structural components were provided at the end of each chapter.
- For each chapter few multiple choice questions (MCQs) and expected questions in that chapter for revision were given.
- At the end of each chapter for quick review a table with the structure and function for each tissue were provided.
- The tables, charts, developmental aspect and microphotographs at different magnifications for understanding the structure are the important features of this book.
