Study Notes
Connective Tissues
- Bone is a strong, non-flexible tissue composed of a hyaline matrix with embedded bone cells in a hard matrix of calcium and phosphorus compounds.
- Ligaments connect bones, are elastic, and possess considerable strength with very little matrix.
- Tendons attach muscles to bones; they are fibrous with great strength but limited flexibility.
- Cartilage has widely spaced cells and a solid matrix of proteins and sugars; it smoothens bone surfaces at joints and is found in the nose, ears, trachea, and larynx.
- Areolar connective tissue supports organs and aids in tissue repair, found between the skin and muscles, and around blood vessels and nerves.
- Adipose tissue, filled with fat globules, is found below the skin and between organs, acting as an insulator and energy store.
Muscular Tissue
- Muscular tissue consists of elongated muscle fibers responsible for movement in the body.
- Special contractile proteins in muscles allow them to contract and relax, which facilitates movement.
Meristematic Tissue in Plants
- Meristematic tissue is located at growth points and classified as apical, lateral, or intercalary.
- These tissues produce new cells that differentiate into various permanent tissues.
- Apical meristem is present at the growing tips of stems and roots, increasing length.
- Lateral meristem (cambium) increases the girth of stems or roots, while intercalary meristem is found in some plants near nodes.
Permanent Tissue
- Permanent tissues arise from meristematic tissue after cells take on permanent shapes and functions through differentiation.
- Simple permanent tissue includes parenchyma, which consists of unspecialized living cells with thin walls and large intercellular spaces, primarily for food storage.
- Epidermal tissue forms a protective outer layer with a continuous structure and lacks intercellular spaces, often thickened in plants in dry habitats for water protection.
Stomata and Transpiration
- Stomata, formed by guard cells, are found in the epidermis and facilitate gas exchange and transpiration in plants, critical for survival in terrestrial environments.
- Transpiration, the loss of water vapor through stomata, aids in maintaining plant water balance and nutrient transport.
