    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    Cell Structure and Function describes the structural and functional features of the diverse cells from which the human body is formed. Focusing on normal cell structure and function, it gives readers a firm grounding in the appearance and behaviour of healthy cells and tissues on which a full understanding of abnormal cell behaviour can be built.

    Long description:

    Biomedical scientists are the foundation of modern healthcare, from cancer screening to diagnosing HIV, from blood transfusion for surgery to food poisoning and infection control. Without biomedical scientists, the diagnosis of disease, the evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment, and research into the causes and cures of disease would not be possible.

    The Fundamentals of Biomedical Science series is written to reflect the challenges of practicing biomedical science today. It draws together essential basic science with insights into laboratory practice to show how an understanding of the biology of disease is coupled to the analytical approaches that lead to diagnosis.

    Assuming only a minimum of prior knowledge, the series reviews the full range of disciplines to which a Biomedical Scientist may be exposed - from microbiology to cytopathology to transfusion science.
    Alongside volumes exploring specific biomedical themes and related laboratory diagnosis, an overarching Biomedical Science Practice volume gives a grounding in the professional and experimental skills with which any Biomedical Scientist must be equipped.

    The series:
    ? Understands the complex roles of Biomedical Scientists in the modern practice of medicine
    ? Understands the development needs of employers and the Profession
    ? Addresses the need for understanding of a range of fundamental sciences in the context of Biomedicine
    ? Places the theoretical aspects of Biomedical Science in their practical context

    The series is developed in partnership with and endorsed by the Institute of Biomedical Science. Visit www.ibms.org for more information.

    Cell Structure and Function describes the structural and functional features of the various types of cell from which the human body is formed. Focusing on normal cellular structure and function, it gives students and trainees a firm grounding in the appearance and behaviour of healthy cells and tissues on which can be built a robust understanding of cellular pathology.

    With cell structure and function correlated with clinical contexts throughout, Cell Structure and Function is the ideal introduction to cellular biology for any student of biomedical science.

    Online Resource Centre
    The Online Resource Centre to accompany the Fundamentals of Biomedical Science series features:

    For registered adopters of the book:
    ? Figures from each book, available to download

    For students:
    ? An interactive Virtual Microscope, encouraging the exploration of tissue samples
    ? Video podcasts including interviews with practicing biomedical scientists, and 'in the lab' footage showing biomedical science in practice

    Well illustrated with numerous schematic drawings which are extremely helpful for the explanation and clarification of difficult concepts.
