Weefselmatige

Weefselmatige is a Dutch adjective that translates to "tissue-like" or "histological" in English. It describes something that is related to, composed of, or resembling biological tissue. The term is commonly used in scientific and medical contexts, particularly in histology, which is the study of the microscopic anatomy of cells and tissues.

When describing a pathological condition, "weefselmatige" might be used to indicate that the observed abnormality has a structure or appearance similar to normal tissue, even if it is abnormal. For instance, a tumor might be described as having a weefselmatige structure. In a broader sense, it can refer to any material or substance that exhibits characteristics of biological tissue, such as texture, flexibility, or cellular organization. The term emphasizes the structural and compositional aspects of biological matter at a microscopic level.
