MIDTERM Flashcards
Scientific study of tissues
HISTOLOGY
group of cells organized into afunctional unit
Tissues
consist of rapidly dividing cells
Meristematic tissues-
have already assumed various shapes and sizes related to their specific functions as they develop and mature
Permanent tissues
carries and transports nutrients and water
Vascular tissues
Protective tissues
epidermis
Based on stage of development
a. Embryonic or meristematic
b. Permanent
Based on initiating cells
a. (primordial meristem)
b. Primary meristem
c. Secondary meristem
Based on function
a. Protoderm(DERMATOGEN)
b. Procambium(PLEROME)
c. Fundamental orground(PERIBLEM)
Based on position in the plantbody (Location)
a. Apical
b. Intercalary
c. lateral
Simple permanent
PARENCHYMA
COLLENCHYMA
SCLERENCHYMA
Complex permanent
XYLEM
PHLOEM
Least specialized permanent tissue composed of living thin walled cell
PARENCHYMA
Cell contains numerous chloroplast for photosynthesis
Chlorenchyma
Irregular cell surrounded with large air space
Aerenchyma
secrete nectar, fragrances, mucilage, resins, and oils
Glandular cells
-Living cell with thickening in corner leaving the lateral wall thinning
-May be either short and prismatic, elongated and tapering or polygonal in transverse section
COLLENCHYMA
Collenchyma forms a band about ________cells thick.
8 to 12 cells thick
Masses of collenchyma cells often occur in the outer parts of stems and leaf stalks.
COLLENCHYMA TISSUE
The primary wall is thicker at the corners; No intercellular spaces arepresent
COLLENCHYMA
-Cells possess thick lignified secondary wall
-May or may not be living
-Occurs in cluster or group among parenchymatous cells surrounding vascular tissue
SCLERENCHYMA
Elongated cells with pointed end walls
Fiber
Roundish or polygonal cell withwalls varying in thickness
Sclera’s or Stone Cell
-Outermost layer of cells or any plant organ with primary growth
-Irregular, isodiametric &distinctly elongated in shaped with outer cell impregnated or not with cutin (cuticle)
EPIDERMIS
-Specialized cells present in the epidermis
guard cells of stomata
aka Epidermal Outgrowths/Hairs
Trichomes
- protection from insects and excessive sunlight
- aids in nutrient uptake
- spread of seeds
Trichomes
-Outer impermeable protective layer of a secondary plant body
-Compose of compactly arranged dead, lignified and suberized cell without intercellular space
CORK TISSUES
VASCULAR TISSUES
- Xylem
- Phloem
-Principal water-conducting tissue composed of lignified dead cells located in the stellar (vascular)region of stem, root, or leaves
-Various patterned secondary walls called tracheids, vessel, fiber, and parenchyma
XYLEMq
-Various patterned secondary walls
tracheids, vessel, fiber, and parenchyma
-Principal food conducting tissue composed of different type of cells located in the stellar region
-Composed of fibers, parenchyma, sieve cell or tube and companion cells
PHLOEM
