Study Notes
Histology
- Marcello Malpighi is considered the 'Father of Histology'.
Tissue Study
- The study of tissues is known as histology.
Tissue Analysis
- Microtome is commonly used for studying tissues by embedding and sectioning tissue.
Biological Organization
- Tissue is the biological organizational level between cells and a complete organ.
Etymology
- Marcello Malpighi discovered that the English word 'tissue' derives from the French word 'tissu'.
Plant Anatomy
- The vascular tissue system in plant anatomy is responsible for transporting fluids and nutrients internally.
Meristem Location
- Apical meristem is primarily present at the tips of stems and roots.
Meristem Function
- Lateral meristem causes the organ to increase in diameter and girth.
Tissue Function
- Chlorophyll-containing tissues, such as chlorenchyma, manufacture nutrients by photosynthesis and store reserve nutrients in plant.
Intercalary Meristem
- The function of intercalary meristem in plants is to increase the length of stems and roots.
