Adipose tissue is best described as a form of connective tissue in which fat cells (also called Adipocytes) predominate. These large fat cells are found isolated or in small groups within loose or dense irregular connective tissue but occur in large aggregates as adipose tissue or fat in many body regions and organs. The cells …
Glands are considered as specialized epithelial cells that are adapted specifically for the purpose of secretion. This means in addition to performing functions such as protection and absorption, the cells of epithelial tissue also may secrete chemical substances. Therefore, no matter how complex a gland may be, it was first derived from epithelial …

Oogenesis even after puberty still continues to menopause (permanent cessation of menstrual bleeding associated with the menstrual cycles). Oogenesis and Spermatogenesis are forms of …
Spermatogenesis is the process through which immature sperm cells called Spermatogonia (which are actually stem cells) are transformed through a series of different types of cell divisions in order to produce mature sperm cells called Spermatozoa. Spermatogonia (or Spermatogonium singular) are undifferentiated spermatogenic cells that need to be differentiated through the processes of mitosis and meiosis before they …
