In the newly revised seventh edition of Dellmann’s Textbook of Veterinary Histology, a team of distinguished veterinary professionals delivers a comprehensive update on the function of cells, tissues, and organs in domestic animal species. It effectively bridges the gap between anatomy and physiology and is filled with high-quality electron micrograph and color micrograph images.

The book is a comprehensive resource on animal tissue structure and function and contains a basic history of veterinary histology, including cytology and microscopic anatomy. A companion website — with approximately 800 high-resolution, color images — rounds out the offering, with new and updated illustrations.
