I'm looking for the spelling of a word that sounds like "pa-rank-a-ma," used in the contex of brain mass.

Question

I am not sure if this is a medical term. There is a discussion of the what makes up the contents of the cranial vault. Three things are listed. The person is asking besides those three things, are there other things in there other than the brain pa-rank-a-ma.

Answer 1

parenchyma... it has mulitple meanings.. one is in plants but you rprobably dont mean that one so the other definition is

parenchyma (pah-REN-kih-ma)

The essential or functional elements of an organ.

nodular parenchyma which you might mean is : nodular parenchyma

A small mass of tissue within a gland or organ that carries out the specialized functions of the gland or organ.
