Supportive tissue

Stutz-flache, /. supporting surface, -gewebe, n. supporting tissue. 

AGX are also the dominant hemicelluloses in the cell walls of hgnified supporting tissues of grasses and cereals. They were isolated from sisal, corncobs and the straw from various wheat species [4]. A more recent study on corncob xylans [30] showed the presence of a hnear, water-insoluble polymer...

The normal prostate is composed of acinar secretory cells arranged in a radial shape and surrounded by a foundation of supporting tissue. The size, shape, or presence of acini are almost always altered in the gland that has been invaded by prostatic carcinoma. Adenocarcinoma, the major pathologic cell type, accounts for more than 95% of prostate cancer cases.15 Much rarer tumor types include small cell neuroendocrine cancers, sarcomas, and transitional cell carcinomas.

Macroelements, as well as basic elements are essential for plant and animal organisms. They are the building materials that support tissue, teeth, skin, and hair, play an important role in water-electrolyte management and pH regulation, and are parts of many active compounds vital for metabolic processes. 

Mono-, sesqui-, and some diterpenoids are found in marine and terrestrial flora. They are, therefore, not always unambiguous tracers for higher plant sources. However, diterpenoids with the abietane and pimarane (Fig. 1), and less common phyllocladane and kaurane, skeletons are predominant constituents in resins and supportive tissue of coniferous vegetation (Coniferae), which evolved in the late Paleozoic (200—300 million years ago). Diterpenoid biomarkers have been characterized in... 

Mesoderm The middle germ layer of animal embryos which in later development gives rise to the muscles, connective and supporting tissues, and blood and blood vessels. 

The side effects of glucocorticoids are numerous (see Chapter 29). These drugs exert a general catabolic effect on all types of supportive tissue (i.e., muscle, tendon, bone). Osteoporosis is a particular a problem in the patient with arthritis because many of these... 

The major limitation of the glucocorticoids in any disease is the risk of serious adverse effects. Because of the general catabolic effect of these drugs on supporting tissues, problems with osteoporosis, skin breakdown, and muscle wasting can occur during prolonged...

Hardwoods contain several cell types, specialized for different functions (Fig. 1-9). The supporting tissue consists mainly of libriform cells, the conducting tissue of vessels with large cavities, and the storage tissue of ray parenchyma cells. In addition, hardwood contains hybrids of the above-mentioned cells which are classified as fiber tracheids. Although the term fiber is frequently used for any kind of wood cells, it more specifically denotes the supporting tissue, including both libriform cells and fiber tracheids. In birch these cells constitute 65 to 70% of the stem volume. 

If one accepts that the concept of an isolated receptor is meaningful (i.e., that a receptor retains its integrity outside its in vivo environment), then attempts to achieve this condition must form an important step in receptor investigations. To date, only modest progress has been made in attempts to isolate opioid receptor material as characterized by its ability to bind ligands in a manner similar to that of intact nervous tissue. The problem is to devise a method of solubilizing the receptor from its supporting tissue (usually assumed to be a coll membrane) in a manner in which it retains its ability to... 

Vitamin C is found in fresh fruits and vegetables including citrus fruits. Vitamin C is necessary for the health of the supporting tissues of the body such as bone, cartilage and connective tissue. 

Technical Nature. Wood is a complex plant tissue composed of several distinct types of cells. In the trees discussed in this text, wood is easily recognized as that tissue located to the inside of the tree bark and forming the interior bulk of all major stems, branches, and roots. Technically, wood is the main conductive and mechanical (or supportive) tissue of the tree, and is largely responsible for the upward translocation of water and dissolved minerals from the root system to the active tree crown (buds and functioning leaves) (J). The histological and cellular structure of wood and how it serves conductive, mechanical, and storage functions in the tree will be dealt with later in this chapter. 

Lignins are complex, cell wall-bound, optically inactive phenolic heteropolymers covalently associated with both polysaccharides and proteins [102]. They are mainly localized in the impermeable water transport conduits of the xylem and other supporting tissues of all the vascular terrestrial plants, and result mainly from the oxidative... 

Late symptoms of the climacteric are those related to chronic exposure of the urogenital tract to less than normal physiologic levels of estradiol. These include vaginal dryness and laxity of the supportive tissues of the urogenital tract, causing a predisposition to urinary tract infections and painful intercourse.
