Description

This text serves to introduce students to histology. It provides a thorough and current treatment of the structure, organization and function of the basic tissue types of the body as well as the organ systems which are organized from the basic tissues. The text presents a more modern, cell
biological emphasis on the subject, while also bringing out the clinical correlations of histology in every chapter. Text material is frequently summarized in the many charts, tables and diagrams that are distributed throughout the book. The organization is intended to facilitate the rapid transfer
of information from the book to the student.
The book is written for medical and dental students as well as other professionals who are introduced to histology during their first year of professional schooling. It is also intended to serve the needs of advanced undergraduates who often take such a course in preparation for professional
schools.
The book contains limited amounts of biochemistry, physiology, endocrinology and neurobiology, but a sufficient amount of material so that the student can correlate functional information to the microscopic organization of tissues and organs. Hopefully, this mix will permit maximum learning and
understanding of structure-function relationships.
Since the students who first encounters histology is typically introduced to a large body of information in a limited time period, we have sought to maximize the rapid transfer of information by the extensive use of summary type tables, charts and drawings. In addition, a central portion of the
book contains a limited number of color illustrations which will permit the student to view and recognize stained sections of tissues and organs. The color atlas should facilitate the student's view of laboratory work.

  • 告訴我,你是怎麼死的
    By 茱蒂.梅琳涅克

    菜鳥法醫直擊死亡現場,軼事趣聞、科學新知、動人故事交織的第一手紀錄! 蒸死、毒死、摔死、溺死、絞死、孤獨死、被害死經歷兩百多具死狀死因各異的冰冷遺體,以及911事件中數以萬計的無名屍塊。菜鳥法醫茱蒂.梅琳涅克在驗屍臺旁大膽揭露,最稀奇古怪的工作秘辛、最有溫度的工作紀實。 你可知道◎許多法醫人員用的器具在五金行就買的到,例如修剪後院樹枝的剪刀可以拿來剪斷肋骨。◎肝臟是最難駕馭的器官,特別是酗酒者肥大的肝臟,活像抹油的豬仔,在驗屍房裡亂竄。◎一定要清點男性死者的睪丸,因為有人只有一個,有人有假體。◎骨鋸看起來就像加強版的廚房用手持式攪拌器。◎鋸開頭蓋骨的切口必須是不規則形,否則喪禮時安放在緞面枕頭上的死者頭蓋骨會慢慢滑落,有人會不開心的。◎孤獨的味道是獨居老人死在公寓中的屍臭。如何除屍臭:請整棟公寓的人一起煮咖啡,連續沸騰幾小時。◎最難的,不是在遺骸四散的災難現場忍住不哭,而是如何保持微笑繼續工作。 九一一事件發生前兩個月,法醫病理學家茱蒂.梅琳涅克醫生與丈夫提傑和稚子丹尼爾來到了紐約,開始她在紐約市醫事檢察處為期兩年的訓練,這裡有各式各樣精采的死法、各式各樣死狀死因迥異的遺體。她的工作內容不只有執行驗屍、調查死亡現場,還必須出庭作證、慰問哀慟的家屬,她得學著習慣腐屍的臭味、學著不去想像驗屍檯上的遺體臨死前受了多少苦、還得學著如何安撫死者親屬。雖然辛苦,但她仍熱愛這一切。茱蒂也是九一一當時待命、以及往後八個月全心投入大屠殺之後遺骸辨識的三十名醫生之一,她還未從震撼中恢復,就得繼續面對接連而來的炭疽熱生化攻擊,還有美國航空587航班的墜毀事件。當時,她已懷了第二胎,於是一邊感受新生命在肚子裡成長,一邊研究剛殞落的生命留下的軀殼。擔任菜鳥法醫期間,茱蒂見證了人類最赤裸不堪的一面、承擔無數死者與生者的苦痛,然而這一切造就了後來的她,如今,她已是經手兩千餘件驗屍案的資深法醫,仍持續為死者發聲並撫慰生者。 翻開書頁,跟隨法醫穿越警方封鎖線、推開神祕驗屍室的大門,勇敢直視死亡的百萬種真面目,幽默風趣卻不失溫暖。讀完後,感覺死了好多次,卻也重生了好多次。 【名家推薦】「比電視上看到的更神奇,《告訴我,你是怎麼死的》描述了法醫病理學真實的面貌。這本書情節精彩、引人入勝。」——凱斯.萊克斯 《識骨尋蹤》(Bones)電視影集原著作者 「梅琳涅克成為法醫病理學家的精采故事,讓讀者赤裸裸看見人死後會發生什麼事……梅琳涅克優美的文筆十分有啟發性且引人入勝。」——美國《出版人週刊》 「梅琳涅克對自身天職的熱忱十分顯而易見,她充滿活力的文筆自然不造作,重點鮮明、筆風辛辣(但不刻薄)——把死亡寫得平凡,同時又令人毛骨悚然。」——《科斯克書評》 「這書令人走火入魔——梅琳涅克對家屬和死者展現動人的同理心——這是一則令人難已忘懷的故事。」——《書單雜誌》星級書評 「《告訴我,你是怎麼死的》令人忍不住一直看下去,十分吸引人。內容揭露了這份調查死亡的工作,實為終生的重責大任。」——科幻驚悚書評網 「梅琳涅克記錄了她在市立醫事檢察處擔任法醫的日子——跟電視上演的可沒有半點相似之處。」——《紐約郵報》 「首先以大辣辣地講述如何處理腐爛屍體,或使用修枝剪剪開肋骨精彩登場——再描寫二○○一年紐約遇上的九一一事件時,辨識遺體殘肢的動人故事巧妙達成平衡。」——英國《自然》雜誌 「有讀者喜愛的有趣動人情節,又有各式各樣的科學新知。《CSI犯罪現場》的粉絲——來真格的那些人——一定會想一睹為快。」——《華盛頓郵報》  出版社 臉譜 (城邦)
