Publisher's Synopsis
This illustrated study of the cell indicates how our knowledge of the detail of the cell has progressed from simplistic descriptions to the incredible details available through electron microscopy. The use of line diagrams throughout the text helps to illustrate the important relationship between the microstructural organization of cells and the distribution of cell organelles, and the functional relationships between different types, both active and inactive. Concise wording accompanies each section of illustrative material, providing key symbols to help readers find examples of specific organelles and their structures.
