Editorial Review:

diFiore's Atlas of Histology with Functional Correlations, Eleventh Edition, explains basic histology concepts through full-color, schematic illustrations. These illustrations are supplemented by more than 450 digitized full-color online photomicrographs of histological images. Part One explains tissues and their relationship to their systems; Part Two addresses organs in a similar way. Targeting undergraduate, allied health and first and second year medical students, the 11th Edition includes new and enhanced images through redrawing and digitization to provide increased detail. This edition also features updated illustrations and information on the functions of cells, tissues, and organs of the body based on advances in research and expert recommendations. The atlas' student-friendly "Functional Correlations" sections help students study structure and function together. Students also benefit from a "realistic" perspective as more than 70 micrographs appear adjacent to color illustrations. A companion website offers student and instructor versions of diFiore's Interactive Atlas with all of the images from the book.

I had the opportunity to look at the 2007 and the 2005 editions, and there doesn't seem to be much difference. Save yourself a lot... more info

Atlas of Histology with Functional correlations:

The book is an excellent source of information and my friends and I loved using it with our class projects.

Pros and Cons...:

I used this book for medical school histology in combination with the Junqueira textbook. I liked this atlas because it is predominantly drawings and so you get to see the "ideal" appearance of things. There are lots of labels on the drawings pointing out the different features of what is being illustrated...this is very helpful and other atlases and textbooks I saw did not do as good a job with this. There is some text as well which is mildly helpful.
Other people in my medical school class used the... more info

Excellent book to start your medical career:

I'm a 2nd year medical student as of April 2006.
This book helped me a lot to put the whole picture togather. I even refer back to this book when reviewing for pathology.
The book title says it all...Histology pictures with functional correlations. All the body organ system presented with very good slide view pictures, which are all labeled + text explaining the labels and functional aspects of all the labels. This book helped me connect all the body organs.
I highly recommend this book for... more info
