  2. Parenchyma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parenchyma

    The parenchymal cells include myocytes, and many types of specialised cells. The cells are often attached to each other and also to their nearby epithelial cells mainly by gap junctions and hemidesmosomes. There is much variation in the types of cell in the parenchyma according to the species and anatomical regions.

  3. Stroma (tissue) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroma_(tissue)

    The cells which make up stroma tissues serve as a matrix in which the other cells are embedded. [2] Stroma is made of various types of stromal cells. Examples of stroma include: stroma of iris; stroma of cornea; stroma of ovary; stroma of thyroid gland; stroma of thymus; stroma of bone marrow; lymph node stromal cell; multipotent stromal cell ...

  4. Stromal cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stromal_cell

    Stromal cells can become connective tissue cells of any organ, for example in the uterine mucosa (endometrium), prostate, bone marrow, lymph node and the ovary. They are cells that support the function of the parenchymal cells of that organ. The most common stromal cells include fibroblasts and pericytes.

  5. Desmoplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmoplasia

    In normal epithelial tissues, epithelial cells, or parenchymal cells of epithelia, are highly organized, polar cells. [5] These cells are separated from stromal cells by a basement membrane that prevents these cell populations from mixing. [5] A mixture of these cell types is recognized, normally, as a wound, as in the example of a cut to the ...

  6. Tissue (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_(biology)

    The cells of meristematic tissue are similar in structure and have a thin and elastic primary cell wall made of cellulose. They are compactly arranged without inter-cellular spaces between them. Each cell contains a dense cytoplasm and a prominent cell nucleus. The dense protoplasm of meristematic cells contains very few vacuoles.

  7. Hepatocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatocyte

    The hepatocyte plates are one cell thick in mammals and two cells thick in the chicken. Sinusoids display a discontinuous, fenestrated endothelial cell lining. The endothelial cells have no basement membrane and are separated from the hepatocytes by the space of Disse, which drains lymph into the portal tract lymphatics. [citation needed]

  8. Renal fascia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_fascia

    The renal fascia is a dense, elastic connective tissue envelope enclosing the kidney and adrenal gland, together with the layer of perirenal fat surrounding these two. [1]The renal fascia separates the adipose capsule of kidney from the overlying pararenal fat.

  9. List of medical roots, suffixes and prefixes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_medical_roots...

    Second, medical roots generally go together according to language, i.e., Greek prefixes occur with Greek suffixes and Latin prefixes with Latin suffixes. Although international scientific vocabulary is not stringent about segregating combining forms of different languages, it is advisable when coining new words not to mix different lingual roots.
