After an overview of the anatomy and physiology of major organ systems, individual chapters cover those aspects of science that are relevant to the clinical laboratory: pathophysiology; clinical cell biology and genetics; cellular pathology; clinical chemistry; medical microbiology; clinical immunology; haematology and transfusion science, and it concludes with a chapter on professional practice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA single volume resource written specifically for biomedical science students.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClinically focused, covering the science that is relevant to the working laboratory.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eClearly written and well-presented with numerous illustrations in full colour throughout.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy focusing on clinical relevance and including contributions from practising biomedical scientists, this book gives a sense of what happens at the bench in the working clinical laboratory.
