This text contains the concise thorough presentation of Cytology, Embryology, General and Special Histology, based on modem information of functional morphology of cells, tissues, different organs and systems. This text was created on the basis of the systematized lecture course on Histology, Cytology and Embryology which is delivered at the Histology, Cytology and Embryology Department of State institution «Lugansk State Medical University)) for the students of the Faculties of Medicine and Dentistry. 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.

The thirteenth edition of Atlas of Histology with Functional Correlations (formerly diFiore’s Atlas of Histology with Functional Correlations) continues to provide a colorful and expanded atlas of histologic images for medical, veterinary, dentistry, and pathology as well as students of the biological sciences. As in previous editions, numerous comments from reviewers were helpful in suggesting improvement to the text and images of the atlas. Keeping these suggestions in mind, the composite and colorful illustrations of cells, tissues, and organs that made this atlas popular are maintained in the thirteenth edition. In addition, numerous photomicrographs were added throughout. While most of the images were prepared with light microscopy, other images with transmission and scanning microscopy are also included where it was necessary to show more precise and detailed morphology of different structures not visible with light microscopy. The rapid advance in scientific research continues to produce volumes of new information that further our understanding of fundamental biological functions of cells as well as their subcellular and molecular components. Thus, in our contemporary era, the study of histology requires more than the recognition and identification of structural characteristics in different organs but also learning and understanding their diverse dynamics and functional correlations that maintain the homeostasis of living organisms.
