The structure and physics of Hiiregions are reviewed. The discussion is principally based on the radio mapping of intermediate-size Hiiregions to measure the energy balance, the mapping of small-scale structure by aperture-synthesis techniques to define the ionization conditions, and determination of helium abundances from radio recombination-line observations of H and He in Hiiregions.
