[parenchymal cell]
This term pertains to the main functional cells of an organ or tissue - as distinguished from non-parenchymal cells (frequently referred to as stromal cells) that provide supporting structural elements such as cells forming the connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerves. Thus, the terms parenchymal hepatic cells (parenchymal liver cells), for example, refers to the main functional cells of the liver: hepatocytes. The term brain parenchymal cells, on the other hand, is used frequently to refer to glial cells (including or not including neurons). See also: resident cells.
