Blood is a connective tissue with a fluid matrix called plasma. Three basic types of cells are found suspended in plasma:The Erythrocytes (red blood cells) are pink with a light center (where the cell is thinner and the light shines through).onnective tissue fibers, blood vessels, and sweat glands can be seen embedded in the adipose tissue. As the photomicrograph illustrates this tissue consists of adipocytes that contain lipid droplets. Adipose Tissue: 1  Description: Resembles a chicken-wire fence.
It is possible that hypofunctional 5-HTP cells (reflecting TPH1 dysfunction) in the periphery, leading to deficient 5-HTP, low 5-HT, and concomitant compensatory TPH2 activation in the brain, may cause endogenous depression.
The glands in the endocrine system influence growth and development, mood, sexual function, reproduction, and metabolism. Levels of certain hormones, such as those produced by the thyroid gland, can be factors in depression. In addition, some symptoms of depression are associated with thyroid conditions. The same is true about conditions related to the menstrual cycle, such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS), perimenopause, and menopause.
