Verified step by step guidance

Understand the term 'stroma' in the context of Anatomy and Physiology. The stroma refers to the supportive framework of an organ.

Recognize that the stroma is composed of connective tissues and blood vessels, which provide structural support and nourishment to the organ.

Differentiate the stroma from the parenchyma, which is the functional tissue responsible for the organ's specific functions.

Identify the role of the stroma in maintaining the integrity and function of the organ by supporting the parenchymal cells.

Consider examples of stroma in various organs, such as the fibrous connective tissue in the liver or the supportive matrix in the spleen, to understand its importance in organ structure and function.
