Overview

An approach to understanding the spontaneous and induced lesions in the respiratory system of laboratory animals, especially the rat, mouse and hamster. This edition provides information applicable to the study of toxicologic pathology as well as the precise identification of the cells followed by consideration of perturbations caused by toxicants of other etiologic agents. Current understanding of the nature and significance of pathologic lesions is probed throughout the volume.
