[Experimental histology and the problems of the evolution of tissues]

Trends in modern histology have been reviewed. The role of evolutionary concepts (hypotheses) in analysis of experimental data has been stressed. Several problems of onto- and phylogenesis of hemopoiesis have been discussed. They include evolution of structure of hemopoietic system; origin of fibroblasts and correlation of hemal (mobile) and desmal (fixed) mesenchymal cells; immunological approaches to studies of evolution of hemopoietic cell.
