  2. Liquefactive necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefactive_necrosis

    Microscopically, the cystic space contains necrotic cell debris and macrophages filled with phagocytosed material. The cyst wall is formed by proliferating capillaries, inflammatory cells, and gliosis (proliferating glial cells) in the case of brain and proliferating fibroblasts in the case of abscess cavities. Brain cells have a large amount ...

  3. Caseous necrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caseous_necrosis

    Caseous necrosis in the kidney. In caseous necrosis no histological architecture is preserved (unlike with coagulative necrosis). [5] [6] On microscopic examination with H&E staining, the area is acellular, characterised by amorphous, roughly granular eosinophilic debris of now dead cells, [6] also containing interspearsed haematoxyphilic remnants of cell nucleus contents. [5]

  4. Granulation tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granulation_tissue

    Fibroblasts, the main cells that deposit granulation tissue, depend on oxygen to proliferate and lay down the new extracellular matrix. [7] In vascularisation, also called angiogenesis, endothelial cells quickly grow into the tissue from older, intact blood vessels. [8] These branch out in a systematic way, forming anastomoses with other vessels.

  5. Cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyst

    Benign cyst kidney; radiological appearances mimic renal cancer, A cyst / s ɪ s t / is a closed sac, having a distinct envelope and division compared with the nearby tissue.Hence, it is a cluster of cells that have grouped together to form a sac (like the manner in which water molecules group together to form a bubble); however, the distinguishing aspect of a cyst is that the cells forming ...

  6. Amnion nodosum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amnion_nodosum

    The microscopic and ultrastructural features support the theory that Amnion nodosum is made up of deposits of cellular elements from the fetal skin that accumulate and organize on the surface of the amniotic epithelium and undergo secondary degenerative changes before being invaded by connective tissue. [3]

  7. Gliosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliosis

    Micrograph showing gliosis in the cerebellum. Reactive astrocytes on the left display severe proliferation and domain overlap. Reactive astrogliosis is the most common form of gliosis and involves the proliferation of astrocytes, a type of glial cell responsible for maintaining extracellular ion and neurotransmitter concentrations, modulating synapse function, and forming the blood–brain ...

  8. Histopathology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histopathology

    Micrograph showing contraction band necrosis, a histopathologic finding of myocardial infarction (heart attack).. Histopathology (compound of three Greek words: ἱστός histos 'tissue', πάθος pathos 'suffering', and -λογία-logia 'study of') is the microscopic examination of tissue in order to study the manifestations of disease.

  9. Diffuse alveolar damage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuse_alveolar_damage

    Diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) is a histologic term used to describe specific changes that occur to the structure of the lungs during injury or disease.Most often DAD is described in association with the early stages of acute respiratory distress syndrome (). [1]
