Giving students a needed ally in learning the difficult concepts in cell biology and histology is the single goal of this concise text. In typical Basic Concepts fashion, the subject is treated with maximum emphasis on demystifying basic science topics using analogy, charts and algorithms, clinical examples, mnemonics and other proven teaching methods. Organized from simple to more complicated concepts, students will enjoy the uniquely lucid review of cell biology including cell membranes, intracellular trafficking, signal conduction, mitosis and meiosis, cell motility, and more. Histology is also reviews, starting with epithelium and junctional complexes, connective tissue, muscle, and a system-by-system review of cell structure.Subtitled 'A Student's Survival Guide', this is aimed primarily at health professionals and innovatively reviews the toughest topics in basic science for maximum comprehension in a short period of time.One of a series, the aim of which is to review tough topics in basic science for maximum comprehension in a short time. This volume on cell biology covers the fundamentals - cell membranes, the cytoplasm and contents, the nucleus - and then applies these principles to tissue and organ structure.
