  • Macrophage

    Macrophage is a type of white blood cell that engulfs and digests cellular debris, foreign substances, and pathogens.

  • Erythrocyte

    Erythrocyte is a red blood cell responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to body tissues.

  • Leukocyte

    Leukocyte is a white blood cell involved in protecting the body against infections and foreign invaders.

  • Chondrocyte

    Chondrocyte is a mature cartilage cell that maintains the cartilage matrix.

  • Osteocyte

    Osteocyte is a mature bone cell that maintains bone tissue.

  • Chondroblast

    Chondroblast is an immature cartilage cell that produces the cartilage matrix.

  • Osteoblast

    Osteoblast is an immature bone cell responsible for bone formation.

  • Osteon

    Osteon is the structural unit of compact bone, consisting of concentric layers of bone matrix surrounding a central canal.

  • Trabeculae

    Trabeculae are the lattice-like network of bone tissue found in spongy bone that provides structural support.

  • Plasma

    Plasma is the liquid component of blood that carries cells, nutrients, hormones, and waste products.

  • Membrane

    Membrane is a thin layer of tissue that covers surfaces, lines cavities, or divides spaces in the body.

  • Serous membrane

    Serous membrane lines body cavities that do not open to the outside and secretes serous fluid to reduce friction.

  • Mucous membrane

    Mucous membrane lines body cavities that open to the exterior and secretes mucus for protection and lubrication.

  • Cutaneous membrane

    Cutaneous membrane is the skin, a dry membrane that covers the body surface.

  • Synovial membrane

    Synovial membrane lines joint cavities and secretes synovial fluid for lubrication.

  • Muscle fiber

    Muscle fiber is a single muscle cell, elongated and capable of contraction.

  • Neuron

    Neuron is a nerve cell that transmits electrical signals throughout the body.

  • Neuroglia

    Neuroglia are supporting cells in the nervous system that protect and nourish neurons.

  • Apoptosis

    Apoptosis is programmed cell death, a controlled process to remove damaged or unnecessary cells.

  • Atrophy

    Atrophy is the decrease in size or wasting away of a body part or tissue.

  • Necrosis

    Necrosis is uncontrolled cell death caused by injury or disease, often damaging surrounding tissue.

  • Regeneration

    Regeneration is the process of renewal, restoration, and growth of damaged tissues.

  • Fibrosis

    Fibrosis is the formation of excess fibrous connective tissue during healing, often resulting in scar tissue.
