Preface:
Thisbookisprimarilydesignedforstudentsandteachers. Thisbookcontainsmorethan 10250 ques-
tions from the core areas of HISTOLOGY. The questions are grouped chapter-wise. There are total
10250+ MCQ with answers. This reference book provides a single source for multiple choice
questions and answers in HISTOLOGY. It is intended for students as well as for developers and
researchers in the field. This book is highly useful for faculties and students. One can use this book
as a study guide, knowledge test questions bank, practice test kit, quiz book, trivia questions ...
etc.
The strategy used in this book is the same as that which mothers and grandmothers have been
using for ages to induce kids in the family to sip more soup (or some other nutritious drink). The
children are told that some cherries (their favourite noodles or cherries ) are hidden somewhere
in the bowl, and that serves as an incentive for drinking the soup. In joint families, by the time the
children are old enough to know the trick played by their grandma, there is usually another group
of kids ready to fall for it! They excite the kids, but the real nutrition lies not in the noodles but in
the soup. The problems given in this book are like those noodles/cherries while solving all these
problems are nutritious soup. Now it is your choice to drink the nutritious soups or not!!!.
The overwhelming response to the first edition of this book has inspired me to bring out this second
edition, which is a thoroughly revised and updated version of the first.
Every effort has been made to make this book error-free. I welcome all constructive criticism of the
book. I will upload more MCQ’s on HISTOLOGY in quiz format. Keep visiting our website https:
