The liver parenchyma is the functional tissue of the organ made up of around 80% of the liver volume as hepatocytes. The other main type of liver cells are non-parenchymal. Non-parenchymal cells constitute 40% of the total number of liver cells but only 6.5% of its volume. [11]
In a multicellular organism, an organ is a collection of tissues joined in a structural unit to serve a common function. [1] In the hierarchy of life, an organ lies between tissue and an organ system. Tissues are formed from same type cells to act together in a function. Tissues of different types combine to form an organ which has a specific ...
There is a significant correlation between insulitis frequency and CD45+, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, and CD20+ cells within an insulitis lesion, and the general consensus within the scientific community is that a lesion in the islets of Langerhans can be diagnosed as insulitis if it meets the minimum threshold of at least 3 islets infiltrated, each with a minimum of 15 CD45+ cells.
The interaction between stromal cells and tumor cells is known to play a major role in cancer growth and progression. [1] In addition, by regulating local cytokine networks (e.g. M-CSF, [2] LIF [3]), bone marrow stromal cells have been described to be involved in human hematopoiesis and inflammatory processes.

Pineal gland parenchyma with calcifications Micrograph of a normal pineal gland – very high magnification Micrograph of a normal pineal gland – intermediate magnification. The pineal body in humans consists of a lobular parenchyma of pinealocytes surrounded by connective tissue spaces. The gland's surface is covered by a pial capsule.
Collenchyma (Greek, 'Colla' means gum and 'enchyma' means infusion) is a living tissue of primary body like Parenchyma. Cells are thin-walled but possess thickening of cellulose, water and pectin substances (pectocellulose) at the corners where a number of cells join. This tissue gives tensile strength to the plant and the cells are compactly ...
The beta cells make the insulin that most cells in the human body require to absorb glucose from the blood. Transplanting islet cells may one day help many people with diabetes, and the procedure is currently in the experimental stage. Islets of Langerhans Groups of cells in the pancreas.
