Histology

[miss_n]

Ok, totally flunked my histology exam.... Has anyone any study tips or book recommendations? I have Kerr's Atlas but it's beyond uninspiring.

Steven's and Lowe. The best of any histology book... although they are all mind-numbingly boring...

Spend time looking through this site... really good!

... although they are all mind-numbingly boring...

True-ish, although I find that understanding the physiology (and/or pathophysiology) behind the histology makes it MUCH easier to follow and understand, and makes it a little bit less boring.
But then I just like physiology lots, too.

I think of Wheaters like an anatomy atlas on the minature scale - it's good for making diagrams and learning to identify different cell types from (because they're pics are 100x better than your slides, guaranteed) but Stevens and Lowe is best for understanding the relationship of structure to function, which makes things a bit easier to learn in my experience.

Cheers guys, this has been very helpful and now there are no histology books left in the library :wink:

Being at Nottingham, and being taught by Prof Lowe himself, I understandably used "Histology". It is a good book, but Wheater's is also useful.

The best book is Basic Histology by Carlos and Carneiro. Got it from the library having already forked out for Wheaters...
