  2. Bone marrow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_marrow

    That bone marrow is a priming site for T-cell responses to blood-borne antigens was first described in 2003. [13] Mature circulating naïve T cells home to bone marrow sinuses after they have passed through arteries and arterioles. [14] They transmigrate sinus endothelium and enter the parenchyma which contains dendritic cells (DCs).

  3. Sclereid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sclereid

    Although sclereids are variable in shape, the cells are generally isodiametric, prosenchymatic, forked, or elaborately branched. 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.

  4. Ground tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_tissue

    Sclerenchyma is the tissue which makes the plant hard and stiff. Sclerenchyma is the supporting tissue in plants. Two types of sclerenchyma cells exist: fibers cellular and sclereids. Their cell walls consist of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Sclerenchyma cells are the principal supporting cells in plant tissues that have ceased elongation.

  5. Parenchyma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parenchyma

    The cells are often attached to each other and also to their nearby epithelial cells mainly by gap junctions and hemidesmosomes. There is much variation in the types of cell in the parenchyma according to the species and anatomical regions. Its possible functions may include skeletal support, nutrient storage, movement, and many others. [15]

  6. Cortex (botany) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortex_(botany)

    Sclerenchyma 6. Cortex 7. Epidermis. In botany, a cortex is an outer layer of a stem or root in a vascular plant, lying below the epidermis but outside of the vascular bundles. [1] The cortex is composed mostly of large thin-walled parenchyma cells of the ground tissue system and shows little to no structural differentiation. [2]

  7. Haematopoietic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haematopoietic_system

    Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the transplantation of multipotent haematopoietic stem cells, usually derived from bone marrow, peripheral blood, or umbilical cord blood. [10] [11] [12] It may be autologous (the patient's own stem cells are used), allogeneic (the stem cells come from a donor) or syngeneic (from an identical ...

  8. Stromal cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stromal_cell

    Stromal cells, or mesenchymal stromal cells, are differentiating cells found in abundance within bone marrow but can also be seen all around the body. Stromal cells can become connective tissue cells of any organ , for example in the uterine mucosa ( endometrium ), prostate , bone marrow , lymph node and the ovary .

  9. Stroma (tissue) - Wikipedia

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

    There are multiple ways of classifying tissues: one classification scheme is based on tissue functions and another analyzes their cellular components. Stromal tissue falls into the "functional" class that contributes to the body's support and movement. The cells which make up stroma tissues serve as a matrix in which the other cells are ...
