The structure of bulges and ellipticals, and their relation to galaxy halos are reviewed. Since many ellipticals contain faint disks, the qualitative distinction between bulges and ellipticals is more accurately described as a quantitative variation in Bulge/Disk ratio. The exception may be the brightest ellipticals, which are usually Bright (est) Cluster Members. The available evidence suggests that the spheroid properties are determined by more than halo properties alone. This is clearest for systems with low B/D ratio, where bulge velocity dispersions are similar to disk velocity dispersions. Constraints on the stellar formation scenarios are discussed.
