Study Notes
Pharmacognosy I - Lecture 4
- Lecture delivered by Ahmed Elbermawi, PhD
- Focuses on plant anatomy
- Covers stomata types (images provided for student identification)
- Covers vascular bundle types (images provided for student identification)
- Discusses primary and secondary plant growth
- Describes the anatomy of primary plant organs (leaves, stems, and roots)
Stomata
- Question presented to students (images)
- Identification of different stomata types is required
- No further details given
Vascular Bundles
- Question presented to students (images)
- Identification of vascular bundle types is required
- No further details given
Plant Anatomy
- Diagram shows primary plant organs (leaves, stems, and roots) with labeling.
- Leaves - Photosynthetic system.
- Stems - Support plant structure, transport nutrients, defending against diseases and predators.
- Roots - Absorption of water and nutrients, anchoring plant in ground, protection from soil bacteria and fungi.
- Primary growth - Increases plant length from tips (root and shoots).
- Secondary growth - Increases plant width or girth from lateral meristems (vascular and cork cambium).
Root Anatomy
- Root structure comprises vascular cylinder (stele), ground tissue (cortex), and epidermis (piliferous layer).
- Root hairs - Increase surface area for absorption, essential for growth and development
- Root cap - Protects the apical meristem during growth
Leaf Anatomy
- Leaf structure organization - different in various parts (midrib, lamina)
- Epidermis - Single layer on upper and lower surfaces with trichomes and stomata.
- Ground tissue - Upper to Lower surfaces - composed of palisade mesophyll and spongy mesophyll.
- Vascular tissue - composed of xylem (located above phloem)
- Protoxylem - directs towards the upper epidermis.
Stem Anatomy
- Dicot stem - Epidermis, a single ring of vascular bundles V.B. arranged in ring around central region pith, Cortex, Pith, pericycle, endodermis, well-marked, hypodermis almost collenchyma
- Monocot stem - V.B. are scattered irregularly throughout, narrower than dicot stems, Cortex, Pith, pericycle, endodermis are indistinguishable, hypodermis almost sclerenchyma
Dicot vs. Monocot Comparison
- Dicot and monocot root/stem and leaf anatomy comparison (table provided).
- Key differences in structure and arrangement of vascular bundles (V.B)
- Additional features covered include stomata type, epidermis, pith , palisade and sponge mesophyll and overall types/structures
Quiz Questions
- Question on sclereids (location in plant tissue)
- Question on parenchyma function
- Question on tracheids vs. fibers
- Question on dicot stem hypodermis
- Various multiple-choice questions regarding plant tissue types/functions, root/stem/leaf differences, etc., providing further study material.
