  2. Tissue (biology) - Wikipedia

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

    The complex permanent tissue consists of more than one type of cells having a common origin which work together as a unit. Complex tissues are mainly concerned with the transportation of mineral nutrients, organic solutes (food materials), and water. That's why it is also known as conducting and vascular tissue.

  3. Ground tissue - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  4. Histology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histology

    There are four basic types of animal tissues: muscle tissue, nervous tissue, connective tissue, and epithelial tissue. [5] [9] All animal tissues are considered to be subtypes of these four principal tissue types (for example, blood is classified as connective tissue, since the blood cells are suspended in an extracellular matrix, the plasma). [9]

  5. Unicameral bone cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicameral_bone_cyst

    A unicameral bone cyst, also known as a simple bone cyst, is a cavity filled with a yellow-colored fluid. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] It is considered to be benign since it does not spread beyond the bone. [ 4 ] Unicameral bone cysts can be classified into two categories: active and latent. [ 4 ]

    High initial tensile strength, guaranteed holding power through the critical wound healing period. Smooth passage through tissue, easy handling, excellent knotting ability, secure knot tying: Tensile strength retention, guaranteed holding power Indications: For all surgical procedures especially when tissues that regenerate faster are involved.

  7. Surgical suture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surgical_suture

    The most common is the simple interrupted stitch; [12] it is indeed the simplest to perform and is called "interrupted" because the suture thread is cut between each individual stitch. The vertical and horizontal mattress stitch are also interrupted but are more complex and specialized for everting the skin and distributing tension.

  8. Cellular adaptation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_adaptation

    Compensatory hyperplasia permits tissue and organ regeneration. It is common in epithelial cells of the epidermis and intestine, liver hepatocytes, bone marrow cells, and fibroblasts. It occurs to a lesser extent in bone, cartilage, and smooth muscle cells. Hormonal hyperplasia occurs mainly in organs that depend on estrogen. For example, the ...

  9. Lenticel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenticel

    Underneath them, porous tissue creates a number of large intercellular spaces between cells. This tissue fills the lenticel and arises from cell division in the phellogen or substomatal ground tissue. Discoloration of lenticels may also occur, such as in mangoes, that may be due to the amount of lignin in cell walls. [10] [11]
