nguyên bào sợi
Definition
- Noun (Biology, Anatomy):
- Fibroblast: The primary and most common meaning. A type of cell found in connective tissue that is responsible for synthesizing the extracellular matrix and collagen, playing a crucial role in wound healing and tissue maintenance.
- Noun (Medicine):
- Fibroblastoma: A less common, specialized medical term for a tumor derived from or composed of fibroblasts.
Usage Examples
- Noun (Fibroblast):

Advanced Usage
- The term is primarily used in scientific, medical, and histological contexts. It is not used in everyday conversation.

Notes on Meaning
- The core meaning is fibroblast, a fundamental cell in biology and medicine.
- The meaning fibroblastoma is a specific pathological term derived from the core meaning, referring to a tumor arising from these cells. It is important to distinguish between the normal cell (fibroblast) and the tumor (fibroblastoma) based on context.
