The essential elements of an organ; parenchymal pertains to the parenchyma.
Meaning "anything that is poured in beside". If you consider an organ having a scaffolding of blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, nerves and connective tissue (i.e. stroma), all the other cells that are "poured in" around the scaffolding is parenchma. In other words, the parencyma is the distinctive part of the organ.
undifferentiated plant tissue composed of more or less uniform cells.
the undifferentiated ground tissue in plants which is capable of some mitotic activity, especially in wound-healing. This tissue is also involved in storage of nutrient and in photosyntesis.
Tissue and surrounding connective tissue that comprise the mammary gland: composed of lobes, lobules, bulbs and ducts Phyllodes Tumor: Very rare type of breast cancer which forms from the stroma (connective tissue)
the functional tissue of an organ, as opposed to the supportive structures.
The cells of a tissue or organ that are responsible for fulfilling its functional role; distinguished from the stroma of that tissue or organ.
Undifferentiated tissue of cells present in various parts of plant.
The tissue of an organ (as distinguished from supporting or connective tissue).
The essential part of an organ concerned with critical function. Percutaneous - Effected through the skin. Stenosis - A narrowing of the blood vessel.
a plant tissue composed of thin-walled, unspecialized cells separated by air spaces.
Cells that store nutrients in both hardwoods and softwoods.
the functional parts of any organ, as opposed to tissue that forms its stroma or framework
Soft cell tissue of plants. Found in stem pith and in pulp of some fruits.
the essential parts of an organ that are concerned with its function as opposed to its framework.
n. (Gr. para, besides; enchyma, infusion) plant tissue, generally soft and of thin-walled, relatively undifferentiated cells which may vary in structure and function.
enkeim = to pour in; the essential functional cells of an organ as opposed to its stroma, q.v. (NB. the accent is on the "e", not the "y").
(pair eng´ kyma) [Gr. para: beside + enchyma: infusion] • A plant tissue composed of relatively unspecialized cells without secondary walls.
A primary tissue with polyhedral cells and thin cell walls.
Relatively unspecialised ground tissue composed of polyhedral cells with thin non-lignified cellulose cell walls and living protoplasts.
The functioning part of an organ as contrasted to its structural parts. Parenchyma of the stomach are the secreting glands which produce acid, mucous, and so forth, as contrasted to the stomach wall which provides structure.
animal tissue that constitutes the essential part of an organ as contrasted with e.g. connective tissue and blood vessels
Plant tissue type composed of relatively undifferentiated (non-specialized) cells. Found primarily in leaf (mesophyll), cortex, and also in conductive tissues.
Greek para = beside or near, en = in, and chein = to pour; hence a general term to designate the functional elements of an organ, as opposed to the framework or stroma.
pah-REN-kah-mah Abundant, unspecialized plant cells that can divide. 535
The cellular or functional elements of an organ that fill the connective tissue framework or stroma.
the most common type of plant cell; thin-walled cells varying in size, shape, and function
the essential and distinctive tissue of an organ or an abnormal growth as distinguished from its supportive framework
Thin-walled cells that remain capable of cell division even when mature, constitutes the greater part of leaves, roots, the pulp of fruits, and the pith of stems.
Thin-walled cells in plants that may have various functions and morphologies.
The functional cells or tissue of a gland or organ; for example, the lung parenchyma. The major lung parenchymal abnormality associated with exposure to asbestos is the development of scar-like tissue referred to as pulmonary interstitial fibrosis or asbestosis.
One of the three major cell types in plants. Parenchyma cells have thin, usually multisided walls, are unspecialized but carry on photosynthesis and cellular respiration and can store food; form the bulk of the plant body; found in the þeshy tissue of fruits and seeds, photosynthetic cells of leaves, and the vascular system. Generalized plant cells whose numerous functions include photosynthesis, storage, bulk of herbaceous stem tissues, lateral transport in woody stems. Parenchyma are variously shaped but are characterized by thin walls and remain alive at functional maturity. PICTURE
The essential or specialized part of an organ as distinguished from the supporting tissue.
the internal functional tissues of an organ, as opposed to supporting or structural tissues.
These are cells in a tissue or tissues in an organ that are concerned with function.
tissue composed of more or less isodiametric cells, usually thin-walled with intercellular spaces (cf. pseudoparenchyma).
plant tissue consisting of mature, living cells that are relatively unspecialised in function.
thin-walled living cells in which plant secretions are stored.
working tissue of an organ, as opposed to supporting or connective tissue
The actual, specialised tissue(s) in an organ (heart, kidney, liver) or gland
The functional tissue of an organ. In the breast, it is the glandular tissue, as opposed to fatty or stromal (connective) tissues.
A generalized cell or tissue in a plant. These cells may manufacture or store food, and can often divide or differentiate into other kinds of cells.
the essential or functional elements of an organ.
A tissue composed of living, thin-walled cells that can continue to divide even when mature; parenchyma cells usually leave intercellular spaces between them. ()
The functional portion of an organ
cells that are the most abundant in plants. totipotent cells
