A Textbook of Histology Eleventh Edition by Don W. Fawcett, M.D.

Bloom and Fawcett presents A Textbook of Histology Eleventh Edition by Don W. Fawcett, M.D. Hersey Professor of Anatomy, Emeritus Harvard Medical School Boston, Massachusetts, Senior Scientist International Laboratory for Research on Animal Diseases Nairobi, Kenya, Africa This is a reference text to which teachers, graduate students, and biomedical investigators can turn for information. In molecular biology, much of the research is done on cell fractions or on cell lines that can be cultivated in vitro. While much is being learned, the assumption that cells function in the controlled environment of the culture vessel in exactly the same way that they do in the intact organism is questionable. Bloom and Fawcett serves as a valuable repository of information needed by molecular biologists when they attempt to apply their skills to the heterogeneous associations of interacting cells that make up the tissues and organs of the body. The book begins with a detailed description of the structure and function of the cell and its several organelles. This is followed by chapters on each of the basic tissues and on the organization of each of the organs. Hardback. Used-good condition - discolorations on cover. All pages intact.
