Questo testo di Istologia si offre come una guida completa per gli studenti universitari, con l’obiettivo di fornire una solida preparazione circa l’architettura microscopica dei tessuti e degli organi del corpo umano. Un punto di forza che caratterizza il volume è l’approccio integrato alla materia, spaziando dall’illustrazione delle tecniche utilizzate per ottenere un preparato istologico di alta qualità, fino all’analisi morfo-fun-zionale approfondita dei tessuti che costituiscono i diversi sistemi del nostro organismo. In particolare, si pone grande cura ad evidenziare la stretta correlazione tra la struttura microscopica e la funzione dei vari tessuti, fondamentale per comprendere i meccanismi biologici alla base della salute e della malattia. Nella trattazione di ciascun capitolo, gli autori hanno puntato a stimolare l’interesse e la curiosità dei lettori, sottolineando come ciò che potrebbe apparire dettaglio strutturale abbia in realtà un notevole impatto sul funzionamento dell’organismo; cosa che rende questo testo un valido strumento sia per lo studio che per la formazione professionale in campo biomedico.
