About the Book
• Comprehensive text and practical record book.
• Covers histology course dealing with microscopic structures of human body.
• The book is divided into three chapters, such as Introduction, General Histology and Systemic Histology.
• Point-wise and systemic explanation of all topics.
• Key points for identifications have been mentioned on the top of every slide with a green colored background.
• Sufficient space has been provided after every diagram for the students to practice through sketch work.
• Labelled illustrations of histological slides.
• Useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students of dental, nursing and paramedical.
