They kill pathogens but also die as a result.

Rapid and strong contraction; large, cylindrical, elongated cells; syncytium; peripheral and ovoid nuclei; striated; present in voluntary skeletal muscles Structure - cells (structural, immunological, defense, energy reservoirs), extracellular matrix (ground substance, protein fibers) Surfaces - basal (hemidesmosomes, basement membrane), apical (lumen, microvilli, cilia, stereocilia), lateral (adhering junctions, tight junctions, desmosomes, gap junctions)

Neurons tend to have a large cell body, or soma, and long projections used in transmitting information. These projections are referred to as axons or dendrites. Axons send impulses away from the soma and dendrites carry incoming information. Neurons are most easily identified by their axons in either longitudinal or cross-sectional slide. Groups of neurons are referred to as ganglia in the peripheral nervous system and as nuclei in the central nervous system. Muiznieks, L. D. & Keeley, F. W.

The cells originate from mesenchyme, a loosely organized embryonic tissue featuring elongated cells in a viscous ground substance. Connective tissue cells do not oppose each other but rather are separated by a large extracellular matrix. The album represents a whole new direction for the singer. Her previous album, Prelude, a ' best of' album, had ended her classical career; Tissues and Issues is her first ever pop album.She believed there had to be other people out there in her situation, so she put a call-out on Facebook to encourage others caring for children with additional needs to meet her in the cafe expecting nobody to respond.
