  2. Parenchyma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parenchyma

    Flatworms. Parenchyma is the tissue made up of cells and intercellular spaces that fills the interior of the body of a flatworm, which is an acoelomate. This is a spongy tissue also known as a mesenchymal tissue, in which several types of cells are lodged in their extracellular matrices. The parenchymal cells include myocytes, and many types of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_tissue

    The ground tissue of plants includes all tissues that are neither dermal nor vascular. It can be divided into three types based on the nature of the cell walls. 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 ...

  8. Pulmonary consolidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_consolidation

    A pulmonary consolidation is a region of normally compressible lung tissue that has filled with liquid instead of air. [1] The condition is marked by induration [2] (swelling or hardening of normally soft tissue) of a normally aerated lung. It is considered a radiologic sign. Consolidation occurs through accumulation of inflammatory cellular ...

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

    t. e. In biology, tissue is an assembly of similar cells and their extracellular matrix from the same embryonic origin that together carry out a specific function; in other words, soft biological material. [1][2] Tissues occupy a biological organizational level between cells and a complete organ.
