  2. Parenchyma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parenchyma

    Lung parenchyma showing damage due to large subpleural bullae. Parenchyma (/ p ə ˈ r ɛ ŋ k ɪ m ə /) [1] [2] is the bulk of functional substance in an animal organ or structure such as a tumour. In zoology, it is the tissue that fills the interior of flatworms. In botany, it is some layers in the cross-section of the leaf. [3]

  3. 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 ...

    Then it invades the stem of the rice plant and stays in the pith to feed on the inner surface of the stem wall. These are not externally visual as symptoms. Severe feeding causes a deep circular cut through the parenchyma tissue showing deadhearts at the vegetative stages and whiteheads at the reproductive stages. [4]

  5. Tissue (biology) - Wikipedia

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

    This tissue provides support to plants and also stores food. Chlorenchyma is a special type of parenchyma that contains chlorophyll and performs photosynthesis. In aquatic plants, aerenchyma tissues, or large air cavities, give support to float on water by making them buoyant. Parenchyma cells called idioblasts have metabolic waste.

  6. Hepatocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatocyte

    A hepatocyte is a cell of the main parenchymal tissue of the liver. Hepatocytes make up 80% of the liver's mass. These cells are involved in: Protein synthesis; Protein storage; Transformation of carbohydrates; Synthesis of cholesterol, bile salts and phospholipids; Detoxification, modification, and excretion of exogenous and endogenous substances

  7. Neurocysticercosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurocysticercosis

    Neurocysticercosis can be classified into two main types: parenchymal, which affects the brain tissue, and extraparenchymal, which occurs outside the brain tissue. [34] Parenchymal neurocysticercosis: neurocysticercosis lesions within brain parenchyma. [34] Viable parenchymal cysts: contains the scolex, typically between 0.5 and 2 cm in ...

  8. Stroma (tissue) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroma_(tissue)

    Stroma (from Ancient Greek στρῶμα 'layer, bed, bed covering') is the part of a tissue or organ with a structural or connective role. It is made up of all the parts without specific functions of the organ - for example, connective tissue, blood vessels, ducts, etc.

  9. Pulvinus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulvinus

    They consist of a core of vascular tissue within a flexible, bulky cylinder of thin-walled parenchyma cells. A pulvinus is also sometimes called a geniculum (meaning a knee-like structure in Latin). [citation needed] Pulvinar movement is caused by changes in turgor pressure leading to
