Rapid development of molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology and other sciences has diminished the previously dominant role of morphology in the theoretical part of medical studies. Morphology, closely related to various disciplines, should, however, be included in clinical lectures. Changes in the curricula would require concise and well-structured textbooks, based on recent clinico-morphological studies, for the theoretical parts of both medical and allied health care study programmes. Comprehensive textbooks are still necessary for the specific needs of clinicians and researches.
