Parenchyma

[3] The term parenchyma is Neo-Latin from the Ancient Greek word παρέγχυμα parenchyma meaning 'visceral flesh', and from παρεγχεῖν parenkhein meaning 'to pour in' from παρα- para- 'beside' + ἐν en- 'in' + χεῖν khein 'to pour'.

[8] Damage or trauma to the brain parenchyma often results in a loss of cognitive ability or even death.

The other compartment is the stroma induced by the neoplastic cells, needed for nutritional support and waste removal.

In many types of tumour, clusters of parenchymal cells are separated by a basal lamina that can sometimes be incomplete.

[14] Parenchyma is the tissue made up of cells and intercellular spaces that fills the interior of the body of a flatworm, which is an acoelomate.
