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.
