Medical histology has been so designed as to make the subject of histology easily comprehensible for the medical students of our region. The basic principle of explaining correlation between microscopic structure and function has been conserved in this edition as well. To keep in pace with the recent trends, description of microscopic structure has been supplemented with an appropriate explanation of the related molecular. and cell biology. Wherever considered necessary, correlations of microscopic structure with clinical conditions have also been described. To facilitate comprehension of the subject, the text has been supported by a large number of figures and diagrams.
