What's the difference between cambium and cell?

Cambium


Definition:

  • (n.) A series of formative cells lying outside of the wood proper and inside of the inner bark. The growth of new wood takes place in the cambium, which is very soft.
  • (n.) A fancied nutritive juice, formerly supposed to originate in the blood, to repair losses of the system, and to promote its increase.

Example Sentences:

  • (11) The cambium then regenerates along a path where the ratio of auxin to sucrose concentration is similar to that at the original cambium, and its orientation (as regards xylem and phloem formation) is determined by the direction of the gradient in this ratio.

  • (13) Maintenance of integrity of the cambium layer of the periosteal graft is emphasized.
  • (14) A similar increase has been found for the ratios determined for xylem tissue compared with those for cambium.
  • (15) Apart from the superficial epithelium the lesions can be subdivided into a subepithelial myxoid-fibrous zone followed by a proliferative capillary fibroblastic cambium layer.
  • (16) The new bone was formed by the osteogenic cells of the cambium layer in both types of graft.
  • (17) The capillary fibroblastic cambium zone disappears and areas of hyalinization are enlarged.

  • (19) There was intense proliferation in the cells of the cambium layer of the periosteum, with differentiation to chondroblasts and osteoblasts, suggesting that this layer was the primary tissue responsible for development of the callus.
  • (20) Degranulating MCs conversely decreased near the cambium layer of the periosteum.

Cell


Definition:

  • (n.) A very small and close apartment, as in a prison or in a monastery or convent; the hut of a hermit.
  • (n.) A small religious house attached to a monastery or convent.
  • (n.) Any small cavity, or hollow place.
  • (n.) The space between the ribs of a vaulted roof.
  • (n.) Same as Cella.
  • (n.) A jar of vessel, or a division of a compound vessel, for holding the exciting fluid of a battery.
  • (n.) One of the minute elementary structures, of which the greater part of the various tissues and organs of animals and plants are composed.
  • (v. t.) To place or inclose in a cell.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The variation in thickness of the LLFL may modulate the species causing damage to the cells below it.

  • (4) The effect of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) on growth of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell lines was studied.
  • (5) The patterns observed were: clusters of granules related to the cell membrane; positive staining localized to portions of the cell membrane, and, less commonly, the whole cell circumference.
  • (6) This study was undertaken to determine whether the survival of Hispanic patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck was different from that of Anglo-American patients.
  • (7) This suggested that the chemical effects produced by shock waves were either absent or attenuated in the cells, or were inherently less toxic than those of ionizing irradiation.
  • (8) Patients with papillary carcinoma with a good cell-mediated immune response occurred with much lower infiltration of the tumor boundary with lymphocyte whereas the follicular carcinoma less cell-mediated immunity was associated with dense lymphocytic infiltration, suggesting the biological relevance of lymphocytic infiltration may be different for the two histologic variants.
  • (9) The liver metastasis was produced by intrasplenic injection of the fluid containing of KATOIII in nude mouse and new cell line was established using the cells of metastatic site.
  • (10) Assessment of the likelihood of replication in humans has included in vitro exposure of human cells to the potential pesticidal agent.
  • (11) Herpesviruses such as EBV, HSV, and human herpes virus-6 (HHV-6) have a marked tropism for cells of the immune system and therefore infection by these viruses may result in alterations of immune functions, leading at times to a state of immunosuppression.
