Aquest llibre hauria de comptar com quatre. No sé quantes vegades me l’he rellegit, i no per plaer precisament. A més a més, l’he resumit. No sé quantes pàgines té, però els meus apunts són 34 folis. Hi ha molta palla entremig. Ara bé, el contingut molt bé i les fotografies i taules ajuden molt a entendre-ho. M’ha fet riure, plorar i qüestionar la meva vocació. Recomanat amb precaució.

Úprimne pred prečítaním som nenávidel histológiu. Po prečítaní stále nemám rád histológiu, ale vidím dôvod prečo jej štúdium je pre doktora dôležité. Učebnica je napísaná veľmi pochopiteľne a prehľadne. Kvantá obrázkou zjednodušujú pochopenie náročný konceptov a tém. Klinické poznámky sú najzaujímavejšou časťou ktorá ukazuje prečo je vskutku histológia podstatná. ale bod dávam dole len za to že som túto knihu musel čítať a je to histológia. 8/10

Beznadziejna. Nie polecam

Nog för att jag framför allt läste sammanfattningarna, men jag har likväl läst samtliga kapitel. Lärde mig mycket, även om bättre läsupplevelser finns.

fuck histology

Fabuła zagmatwana, czasem przyjemna, czasem człowiekowi chciało się rzygać. Mieszane odczucia. Podziwiam się że cała przerobiłem praktycznie, no ale byłem przymuszony. Może za kilkadziesiąt lat wrócę do tego tytułu, ale na razie podziękuję

"Had to" read this for my histology class. My first impression the absolute first week was ugh, I'm not going to understand anything, screw this, I'll just use the lectures/internet resources. However, since being peppered by the lecturers to read it, and also some classmates saying it ain't that bad, I decided last one and a half week of class to skim through it.
Surprisingly readable actually and was nice complementary reading towards the end to solidify the knowledge and see the material in another context. Ended up not skimming that much, but actually reading throughly. Every chapter has a summary and some test questions which helped alot, so if you don't want to read too throughly you can still gather the key concepts in the end and test your knowledge.

June 29, 2020I never read textbooks from cover to cover (who does, honestly?) but I've studied huge chunks of Junqueira's, more than 70 percent of it, so I feel somewhat safe to say "I've read it".
Of course, after more than a year I barely remember anything but I guess it's made my histology foundation relatively solid.
The pictures are gorgeous, too. (Because at the end of the day, books with cool pictures are better than books with no pictures and I sometimes think maybe that's why I got into biology in the first place.)

Honestly this is the prettiest book. We only grt like 2 questions from histology so we didn't have to read it much but THESE ARTISTS WENT OFF WITH THIS ONE. Every diagram every picture, the colour scheme, the summary boxes woahhh

I did in fact approach every microscope slide with the energy of a Victorian medium contacting spirits, and it feels like im back from WAR. I’m a survivor.
Anyway.
This book is honestly not that good, so much yap like please cut it down. The illustrations are not good either.

Didn't read this straight through, but it is a good supplement to skim through after lab and lecture and was recommended by my professors.

ES un buen libro, quizás no cuenta con muchos otros referentes como para hacer una buena comparación, o por lo menos no lo he visto tanto.
Sí es de resaltar la falta de realismo pues los esquemas muchas veces son graficados y no tanto como se pueden observar en el microscopio mismo.
Pero por supuesto aborda con detalle todos los temas que un estudiante de histología debe saber a profundidad.

جنكويرا!
لم أكن أتصور بأننا سنلتقي مرة أخرى بعد اكمالي للمادة، ولكن هذه المرة لست أنت من يقيمني بل أنا! يالا سخرية القدر
قمت بتقييمك بنجمة واحدة (رغم أنك لا تستحقها)
تبًا لك، لا أستطيع نسيان كل ما فعلته لي
أتمنى ألا أراك مجددًا يا أسوء ما رأت عيناي.

Junq is one of the best histo texts I've seen, actually. Except for his occasional lie; best medical text in fall M1 after Constanzo.
