  2. Parenchyma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parenchyma

    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]

  3. Sclereid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sclereid

    They can be grouped into bundles, can form complete tubes located at the periphery, or can occur as single cells or small groups of cells within parenchyma tissues. An isolated sclereid cell is known as an idioblast. Sclereids are typically found in the epidermis, ground tissue, and vascular tissue. [2]

  4. Cellular extensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_extensions

    This process involves rolling along the endothelial surface, firm adhesion to the endothelium, and subsequent extravasation into the surrounding tissue. Nevertheless, in the liver , the fenestrated endothelium of hepatic sinusoids allows for direct contact between CD8 + T-cells and the hepatocytes .

  5. Ground tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_tissue

    This tissue system is present between the dermal tissue and forms the main bulk of the plant body. Parenchyma cells have thin primary walls and usually remain alive after they become mature. Parenchyma forms the "filler" tissue in the soft parts of plants, and is usually present in cortex, pericycle, pith, and medullary rays in primary stem and ...

  6. Tanycyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanycyte

    A tanycyte has a single long basal process that crosses into the hypothalamic parenchyma to make contact with blood vessels and an array of neurons. [5] The different components of the tanycyte process protrusions that include ribosomes, mitochondria, and transporters, indicate communication between the tanycytes and blood vessels, and between ...

  7. Tissue (biology) - Wikipedia

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

    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 ...

  8. Sieve tube element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve_tube_element

    Albuminous cells have long, unspecialized areas with ends that overlap with those of other sieve cells and contain nutrients and store food in order to nourish tissues. [5] They enable the sieve cells to be connected to parenchyma, functional tissue in the organs, which helps to stabilize the tissue and transport nutrients.

  9. Germ layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germ_layer

    In all vertebrates, these progenitor cells differentiate into all adult tissues and organs. [5] In the human embryo, after about three days, the zygote forms a solid mass of cells by mitotic division, called a morula. This then changes to a blastocyst, consisting of an outer layer called a trophoblast, and an inner cell mass called the embryoblast.
