Junqueira's Basic Histology: Text and Atlas, Sixteenth Edition

by Anthony L. Mescher

This user-friendly text and atlas combination is filled with clear explanations, art, and micrographs to elucidate key concepts and facilitate learning

Doody's Core Titles for 2021!

For more than four decades, this trusted classic has been considered the hands-down best overview of human tissue structure and function. Accessible yet comprehensive, Junqueiras Basic Histology provides everything you need to know about cell biology and histology, integrating the material with that of biochemistry, immunology, endocrinology, and physiology; it provides an excellent foundation for subsequent studies in pathology. It covers all tissues, every organ system, organs, bone and cartilage, blood, skin, and more.

Formatted in a way that optimizes the learning process, Junqueira's explains how to study the structures of cells and tissues; the cell cytoplasm and nucleus; and the four basic tissue types and their role in the organ systems. Each chapter includes multiple-choice self-test questions enabling readers to assess their comprehension of important material; some questions utilizing clinical vignettes or cases to provide real-world relevance.

Junqueira's is written specifically for students of medicine and other health-related professions, as well as for advanced undergraduate courses in tissue biology--and there is nothing else like it.

Features:



Self-test questions in every chapter
Key points and summary tables highlight key content
Clinical correlations presented with each topic
Illustrations depict key aspects of cell biology and histology
Electron and light micrographs deliver a definitive atlas of cell, tissue, and organ structures
Valuable appendix explains light microscopy stains

1,5⭐️ bo czytałam gorsze rzeczy (for sure not u)
Oficjalnie ostatnia wejściówka z histo napisana!

Fuck this book and the teachers who "pretended" to teach us histology.

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.

Nie po to czytałam to gówno 6 razy żeby mi się do reading challengu nie liczyło...

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

[Lovisa · Rating 3 out of 5]

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

[Karol Jankowski · Rating 3 out of 5]

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.

I 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.)

[Osterella · Rating 5 out of 5]

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

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 مسامحتك على كل ما فعلته لي
فلترقد بسلام ها هنا، وأتمنى ألا أراك مجددًا
وداعًا يا أسوء ما رأت عيناي.

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.

BEST MEDICAL SCHOOL BOOK EVER. In love with histology ❤️❤️❤️

[Jesús De la Jara · Rating 4 out of 5]

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.

[Jen · Rating 5 out of 5]

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.

[Peaches · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read it for the text only, not the pictures.

[Fatma Adel · Rating 5 out of 5]

i got the 13 the edition copy very wonderful helped me a lot in my study very clear pictures & well arranged short notes

[Thodoris · Rating 3 out of 5]

An overall good textbook for cytology. I even did a fast run through it for revision before my 3rd year General Pathology course.

[mehran · Rating 3 out of 5]

not bad

[Giorgia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good.

[Melissa · Rating 5 out of 5]

There are a few places they make bold statements off young research that isn't totally confirmed, but it does read easy and teach basic histology students who are new to the subject.

[Xan · Rating 2 out of 5]

Construction of sentences are confusing.

[Mie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read cover to cover!
