The essential structural feature is the predominance of the cellular elements over the intercellular substance or stroma, in which respect a sarcoma resembles the connective tissue of the embryo.
The intercellular substance of cartilaginous tumors also becomes softened and converted into a liquid containing mucin.
Whether this mucin represents a transformation of the gelatin of the intercellular substance, or a secretion from the fixed cells, or a metamorphosis of the migratory cells of the tissue, is not known.
The intercellular substance varies in its character as does that of normal tissues.
The latter lies in the intercellular substance; that is, between the cells.
A gelatinous substance containing mucin is found in the adult independent of the mucous tissue, but obviously arising from a transformation of intercellular substance.
After the removal, the cell or intercellularsubstance is readily recognized, with such modifications in its appearance as may be due to the action of the strong acid.

The mycelium consists of inconspicuous, fine filaments, which run beneath the epidermis and bark of leaves and stems, or exist in the intercellular passages, the fruit bursting through the surface.
This arises from the absence of stomata and intercellular passages containing air; for the air in these passages of leaves and petals contributes greatly to the production of the brightness of their colours.

It is obvious that the ossified substance of bone is intercellular in character, and corresponds to the matrix of cartilage.
The intercellular matter, an important external plasma-product, is formed by the social cells in the tissues of the histona thrusting out in common firm protective membranes.
This is less frequently seen in the tissues of animals; but, on the other hand, the intercellular and the cuticular matter play a greater part in these.
Benham, the tube, though smaller, and with a but little pronounced funnel, has still an intercellular duct.
In Polynoe the nephridia are short tubes with a slightly folded funnel whose lumen is intercellular, and this intercellular lumen is characteristic of the Polychaetes as contrasted with leeches and Oligochaetes.
By their primitive structure, lower sponges and worms come near the higher Infusoria, to which they are even more closely related by this intercellular digestion which is common to them.
Simple, translucent, homogeneous solid, such as is found at the back of the cornea, or forming the intercellular substance of cartilage.
They form a regular meshwork, the spaces of which are filled up by an intercellular fluid.
But little is known with reference to the ontogeny of the lymphatic vessels, but they originate late in larval life, and have at first the form of simple intercellular spaces.
Whether the axis is to be regarded as formed of an intercellular substance, or of a differentiation of parts of the cells is still doubtful.
Under normal conditions the spores probably germinate when the leaves are wet, and the filaments enter the plant through the breathing pores on the lower surface of the leaves, and spread rapidly through the intercellular spaces.
The central ground tissue (pith) has large, thin-walled cells with numerous intercellular spaces, as in the stem of Erythronium.
The mesophyll cells, however, are short and the intercellularspaces much more evident than in the cross-section.
These filaments run through the intercellular spaces of the leaf, and send into the cells little globular suckers, by means of which the fungus feeds.
The rest of the xylem cells, as well as those of the phloem, are not noticeably different from the cells of the ground tissue, except for their much smaller size, and absence of intercellular spaces.
The green tissue of the leaf is much more compact than in the fern we examined, and the cells are more nearly round and the intercellular spaces smaller.
On magnifying the section more strongly, the cells of the ground tissue (G) are seen to be oval in outline, with thick striated walls and small intercellular spaces.
Between them are large and numerous intercellular spaces, filled with air, and communicating with the breathing pores.
J), below each of which is anintercellular space (i).
Note the small groups of cells surrounded by, and imbedded in, the intercellular material.
The intercellular material, in addition to connecting the cells, supplies to certain tissues important properties, such as the elasticity of cartilage and the stiffness of the bones.
Diagram showing the relation of the cells and the intercellular material.
These consist of minute but definitely arranged portions of protoplasm and are held together by the intercellular material.
In this group each cell is usually separate and distinct from the others, but is attached to them, and is held in place by the intercellular material.
The cells and theintercellular material, though varying in their relative proportions, are present in all the tissues.
Cartilage cells, surrounded by the intercellularmaterial which they have deposited.
One of these consists of minute particles, called cells; the other is a substance lying between the cells, known as the intercellular material (Fig.
Cartilage, bone, and connective tissue differ greatly from the other tissues in the amount of intercellular material which they contain, the difference being due to these cells.
The white corpuscles are, therefore, not confined to the blood vessels, as are the red corpuscles, but migrate through the intercellular spaces (Fig.
Aquatic surroundings are provided for the cells of the body through a liquid known as the lymph, which is distributed throughout the intercellular material (Fig.
Schwann had regarded cell growth as a kind of crystallization, beginning with the deposit of a nucleus about a granule in the intercellular substance--the cytoblastema, as Schleiden called it.
Defn: A tumor of fleshy consistence; -- formerly applied to many varieties of tumor, now restricted to a variety of malignant growth made up of cells resembling those of fetal development without any proper intercellular substance.
Defn: The lifeless portion of tissue, either animal or vegetable, situated between the cells; the intercellular substance.
Between cells there is a greater or less amount of a homogeneous substance--the intercellular substance.
Tissues in which the cells are separated by a certain amount of intercellular substance.
The second class is exemplified in the connective tissues--tissues composed of intercellular substance in which at certain intervals cells lie embedded.
These cells are arranged in masses without an intercellular substance, and the tumors are closely allied to the malignant lymphomata.
Every tissue is composed of two parts: the cellular elements and the intercellular substance.
The physical conditions of the interstitial tissue or the intercellular substance vary greatly in density.
The mycelium penetrates the intercellular passages, and may sometimes be found in parts of the plants where the fungus does not develop itself.
Ice crystals form in the intercellular spaces where they have ample room, and so they do no damage in their alternate freezing and thawing.

Quite independently of these chlorophyll cells or rooms, or the intercellular spaces which correspond to halls, there are some large and many small tubes.
When the air outside is hot and dry it might easily suck out by evaporation all the water vapor in these intercellular spaces and wilting follow at once.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "intercellular" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
