Compartment
(a,b,c,d) is bound by rays and growth ring boundaries. Compartments C1,
C2, and C3 are sub-compartments within the larger compartment. A tree
is built of many compartments. These compartments help confine and retard
the spread of decay. Parenchyma cells typically comprise compartment boundaries.
