Target Organ Pathology

The major organs of the body are targets for chemically-induced effects in animals and humans. This book reviews the mechanisms of these toxic effects and the structure/functional changes which occur in the target organ tissues as a results of exposure to toxicants including drugs, agrochemicals, industrial chemicals, radiation and heat. The organs of the body covered include the liver, lymphatic system, cardiovascular system, respiratory tract, lungs, skeleton, skin, central nervous system, endocrine system and the reproductive system.
