This text is based on the content of lecture course on Histology, Cytology and Embryology which is delivered at the Histology, Cytology and Embryology Department of Lugansk State Medical University for the students of the Faculties of Medicine and Dentistry. .
Histology, the study of cellular and tissue structure, is the key to integrating all of cell biology, anatomy with physiology, and biochemistry and the foundation of pathology. .
Edition is oriented to the effective learning or revision of course of Cytology, Embryology, General and Special Histology and meant for the students in the health professions and advanced undergraduates.Purpose: The purpose of this textbook is to provide the students with an understanding of basic histological structure and function. It also provides the students with an appreciation of the interaction of cells within and among the various tissues and organ systems. Such an understanding will lead to a better comprehension of the processes that occur in pathology and pathological physiology.Contents.
