This textbook offers a comprehensive exploration of histology, focusing on the fundamental principles of tissue structure and function essential for understanding organismal anatomy. Each chapter meticulously examines various tissues and their cellular components, accompanied by detailed illustrations and explanations. The textbook includes a FAQ section at the end of each chapter with essay and short-answer questions to reinforce learning, along with strategically placed multiple choice questions designed for exam preparation.
Special features of the textbook include a ‘Last Minute’ section for quick revision, integrated recordable diagrams, and chapter summaries to aid comprehension. Flowcharts and comparative tables enhance clarity by highlighting differences between similar structures. The book is aligned with the Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) framework, providing detailed identification points for slides, including high-quality photographs of Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) slides and hand-drawn diagrams.
Overall, this holistic approach combines theoretical rigor with practical application, aiming to equip students with a thorough understanding of microanatomy and prepare them for academic success, adhering to the competencies outlined by the National Medical Commission.
