tissue
| neoplasms, connective tissue | Neoplasms composed of connective tissue, including elastic, mucous, reticular, osseous, and cartilaginous tissue. The concept does not refer to neoplasms located in connective tissue. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| neoplasms, fibrous tissue | Neoplasms composed of fibrous tissue, the ordinary connective tissue of the body, made up largely of yellow or white fibres. The concept does not refer to neoplasms located in fibrous tissue. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasms, gonadal tissue | Neoplasms composed of ovarian or testicular tissue. This concept does not refer to neoplasms located in the ovaries or testes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasms, muscle tissue | Neoplasms composed of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, or smooth. The concept does not refer to neoplasms located in muscles. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasms, nerve tissue | Neoplasms composed of nerve tissue. This concept does not refer to neoplasms located in the nervous system or its component nerves. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neoplasms, vascular tissue | Neoplasms composed of vascular tissue. This concept does not refer to neoplasms located in blood vessels. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nephrogenic tissue | The tissue from which the pronephros, mesonephros, and metanephros develop. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nerve tissue protein s 100 | Highly acidic calcium-binding protein found in large concentration in the brain and believed to be glial in origin; also found in other organs in the body. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nervous tissue | A highly differentiated tissue composed of nerve cells, nerve fibres, dendrites, and a supporting tissue (neuroglia). (05 Mar 2000) |
| subcutaneous tissue | The soft tissue immediately underlying the skin or epidermis. (27 Sep 1997) |
| nodal tissue | See: atrioventricular node, sinuatrial node. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dartoic tissue | Tissue resembling tunica dartos. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dermal tissue | <botany> Outer covering of plants, that includes the epidermis and periderm nonliving bark). See: dermis. (18 Nov 1997) |
| indifferent tissue | Undifferentiated, nonspecialised, embryonic tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interstitial tissue | <pathology> Rather general term for mesodermally derived tissue that may be more or less specialised. Cartilage and bone are specialised connective tissue, as is blood, but the term is probably better reserved for the less specialised tissue that is rich in extracellular matrix (collagen, proteoglycan etc.) and that surrounds other more highly ordered tissues and organs.
