As a result of its value and appeal to students and instructors alike, Junqueira’s Basic Histology is used worldwide in nearly a dozen different languages.įor this edition I have revised the text and shortened each chapter while adding new information and expanding coverage of specific topics as needed. The text is prepared specifically for students of medicine and other health-related professions, as well as for advanced undergraduate courses in tissue biology. For over 40 years this educational resource has met the needs of learners for a well-organized and concise presentation of cell biology and histology that integrates the material with that of biochemistry and physiology and provides an excellent foundation for subsequent studies in pathology.

Now in its 13th edition, Junqueira’s Basic Histology continues as the preeminent source of concise yet thorough information on human tissue structure and function.
