The release of this thoroughly revised and enlarged new edition of ‘Cytology’ has provided twofold opportunities to the authors: firstly, to thank the readers for the overwhelming reception they accorded to the earlier editions of this book and secondly, to give a facelift to the old account. In fact, cytology is one of the most exciting fields of biological science. The knowledge about the cell is increasing very year due to the vast expansion of our understanding of the structure and function of various cellular organelles and macromolecules at biochemical and molecular biological levels. To cope with the current cytological understanding, the first three chapters of this edition have been thoroughly revised and revision questions have been added in each chapter. For explaining more adequately some of the recently understood cytological phenomena, several new diagrams have been added afresh..
This book is Useful for B.Sc. And M.Sc. Students.
