About the book (from the publisher)

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.

Readers will also find:

• New clinical correlations and clinical application sections in each chapter, making the book even more relevant to students of veterinary histology aspiring to a clinical career
• Comprehensive explorations of cell, tissue and organ structure and function, updated with the most current knowledge and research
• Practical discussions of histology basics, organized by body region to emphasize comparative species information

Perfect for DVM students taking first-year veterinary histology, “Dellmann’s Textbook of Veterinary Histology” will also benefit students of veterinary nursing, graduate students, and veterinary researchers and professionals in practice seeking an authoritative reference on the subject.

About the Purdue authors

Marxa Figueiredo is an associate professor in the Department of Basic Medical Sciences and the dean’s fellow for graduate programs in the College of Veterinary Medicine. Her research lab focuses on discovering how bones and immune systems interact and uses this knowledge to create next-generation therapies for cancer and inflammatory diseases. Her leadership in editing this textbook reflects her commitment to bridging foundational science with clinical relevance.

John Turek is a professor emeritus in the Department of Basic Medical Sciences within the College of Veterinary Medicine. His pioneering research used biodynamic imaging to analyze intact 3D tumor tissue for predicting personalized cancer drug responses more accurately than traditional genetic or cell culture methods. His extensive contributions to histology education and his involvement in this edition ensure that students learn from a legacy of innovation.
