Verified step by step guidance

Understand the term 'stroma': In anatomy, the stroma refers to the supportive tissue of an organ, which is distinct from the functional tissue known as the parenchyma.

Identify the role of the stroma: The stroma typically consists of connective tissues, which include blood vessels, nerves, and sometimes immune cells, providing structural support and nourishment to the organ.

Analyze the options: Consider each option in the context of the stroma's role. Muscle fibers are typically part of the parenchyma in organs like the heart. Neurons are part of the nervous system and not typically found in the stroma. Epithelial cells form the lining of organs and are part of the parenchyma.

Focus on blood vessels: Blood vessels are a key component of the stroma, as they supply nutrients and oxygen to both the stroma and the parenchyma, and remove waste products.

Conclude with the correct structure: Based on the understanding of the stroma's composition and function, blood vessels are the structures found within the stroma of an organ.
