To my husband, Biao Zuo, and my son, Ran Zuo,
whose love, humor, and unconditional support have accompanied me
on my academic path and made this project most enjoyable;
To all of my students,
whose excitement and passion for learning provided
great initial stimulation for this project.
—Guiyun—
To my parents, Douglas and Joyce,
who shared their time and love, showed me the joy of learning,
encouraged me to read books and practice my violin,
clarified the difference between playing notes and making music,
emphasized the virtues of honesty and hard work,
taught me by example, and set me on a good path in life.

Preface
Lippincott’s Illustrated Q&A Review of Histology presents the key concepts of modern tissue structure and
function in the form of clinical vignette-style questions. Using the format of the National Board of Medical
Examiners (NBME), the questions address the major topics in histology and cell biology presented in
primary textbooks and atlases such as (1) Ross & Pawlina: Histology: A Text and Atlas; (2) Mescher:
Junqueira’s Basic Histology; (3) Gartner & Hiatt: Color Atlas of Histology; (4) Cui: Atlas of Histology with
Functional and Clinical Correlations; and (5) Eroschenko: diFiore’s Atlas of Histology. In addition to being
a learning companion to these excellent textbooks, our illustrated questions and answers will serve as a
stand-alone resource for self-assessment and board review.
The questions are prepared at a level appropriate for all preclinical basic science students. They
provide a roadmap for students learning histology and pathology and preparing for the United States
Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE). Students in the allied health sciences (e.g., nursing and phy-
sician assistant programs) will also find considerable didactic value in clinical vignette-style questions.
Clinical vignette-style questions strengthen problem-solving skills and simulate the practice of medicine.
This book is also intended for undergraduate students of cellular and developmental biology.
Histology is the science of biological design at the cellular and tissue level of complexity. Mastery of this
body of knowledge enables students to evaluate normal tissue differentiation and provides a foundation
for basic research in cell biology. The questions and answers in this book address core concepts of form
and function. They are suitable for all students of biology and do not assume prior training in pathology
or medicine. From this perspective, the clinical vignettes provide a human context for basic science.
Key features of this illustrated histology text include
• Multiple choice questions that follow the USMLE template. Each vignette is followed by a question
stem that addresses a key concept in cell biology/histology.
• Answer choices appear homogeneous and are listed alphabetically to avoid unintended cueing.
• Explanations are linked to the clinical vignettes and address key concepts. Incorrect answers are
explained in context.
• Over 480 full-color images illustrate important histologic features and highlight the complexity of life.
• Tissues with similar histological features are compared, providing a challenging comprehensive review.
• Side-by-side comparisons of normal tissue and histopathology provide a bridge to clinical problem
solving and diagnostic pathology.
We hope that this illustrated review of histology will help students appreciate the complexity and beauty
of human form and function. We also hope that our selection of images and questions will help future
generations of health professionals think critically and make informed decisions. One way that students
can practice critical thinking is to formulate their own questions concerning tissue organization and
mechanisms of disease. We are mindful of the words of James Thurber, who penned, “It is better to know
some of the questions than all of the answers.” We wish our students success in their life-long learning
adventure. Have fun with your basic science training and never stop learning.
