BOOK
A Textbook of Histology
A Textbook of Histology (10th ed., 1975) by Bloom and Fawcett is a classic and authoritative reference work in the field of histology. The book provides a comprehensive examination of the microscopic structure of cells, tissues, and organs, integrating ultrastructural details from electron microscopy with functional and physiological interpretations.
Unlike many earlier histology texts, this edition emphasizes histophysiology, explaining how structural features relate to biological function. The text begins with detailed chapters on cytology and organelles, followed by systematic coverage of the basic tissues (epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues) and the histological organization of major organ systems.
Richly illustrated and widely used in medical, dental, and biological science education, the 10th edition is especially valued for its clarity, depth, and rigorous scientific approach. It includes bibliographical references and a comprehensive index.
