Study Notes
Plant Tissues
- Meristematic tissue is the dividing tissue present in the growing regions of the plant
- Permanent tissues are derived from meristematic tissue once they lose the ability to divide
- Simple tissues include:
- Parenchyma
- Collenchyma
- Sclerenchyma
- Complex tissues include:
- Xylem
- Phloem
- Xylem is responsible for water and mineral transport
- Phloem is responsible for food transport
Animal Tissues
- Epithelial tissue is classified as:
- Squamous
- Cuboidal
- Columnar
- Ciliated
- Glandular
- Connective tissues include:
- Areolar tissue
- Adipose tissue
- Bone
- Tendon
- Ligament
- Cartilage
- Blood
- Muscle tissues include:
- Striated
- Unstriated
- Cardiac
- Nervous tissue is made of neurons that receive and conduct impulses
Cell Types
- Simple squamous epithelium: extremely thin and flat, forms a delicate lining, found in blood vessels and lung alveoli
- Stratified squamous epithelium: multiple layers, found in skin to prevent wear and tear
- Columnar epithelium: tall cells, facilitates movement across the epithelial barrier, found in the inner lining of the intestine
- Ciliated columnar epithelium: has cilia, found in the respiratory tract, helps to clear mucus
Complex Permanent Tissue
- Made of more than one type of cells that coordinate to perform a common function
- Examples include xylem and phloem, which are conducting tissues and constitute a vascular bundle
Learn about the two main types of plant tissues - meristematic and permanent, along with their subcategories. Explore the different types of simple and complex plant tissues, as well as the various types of animal tissues.
