About this Item

Print on Demand. This seminal work by the prominent histologist Philipp Stohr provides a comprehensive examination of the foundation of human histology. Engaging both medical students and doctors, it offers an in-depth study of the microscopic anatomy of the human body. The text not only describes the structure of human cells and tissues but also discusses their physiological functions. Contrasting with previous editions, this iteration of Stohrâ s Histology uniquely arranges its chapters on the basis of embryology, providing the reader with a comprehensive understanding of how the structure and function of each organ develop from embryonic beginnings. In addition, the sixth American edition includes numerous references to relevant research papers and significant advancements in the field. Stohrâ s Histology serves as a testament to the author's tireless efforts to make histological information accessible and is an invaluable resource for those seeking a thorough understanding of this foundational field in biology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

About this title

Synopsis

A practical guide to histology drawing and interpretation This edition explains how to reconstruct 3D structures from serial sections, and how to translate color and texture into effective pencil drawings. It covers planning, magnification choices, and the use of shading to convey tissue details while keeping drawings clear and truthful.

This material also explores the relationship between structure and function in the small intestine, including how goblet cells, Paneth’s cells, villi, and glands are observed and depicted. It offers guidance on preparing specimens, selecting fields, and handling common drawing challenges to reinforce careful observation.

• Techniques for outlining and shading to represent cellular and tissue detail


• How to plan drawings at low and high magnification for different features


• Strategies to preserve contrast and avoid overloading figures


• Examples of how drawing supports understanding of absorption and organ structure

Ideal for readers of anatomy and histology who want to translate what they see into accurate, useful drawings.
