Study Notes
Plant Tissues
-
Meristematic tissue is composed of embryonic cells that are undifferentiated and capable of continuous cell division.
-
Meristematic tissues are located at or near the tips of stems and roots. This is called apical meristems.
-
Intercalary meristems occur in between mature tissues.
-
Intercalary meristems in grasses allow for regrowth after being cut or grazed.
-
There are 3 types of apical meristems: protoderm, ground meristem, and procambrium.
-
Protoderm gives rise to epidermis.
-
Ground meristem produces ground tissues.
-
Procambrium produces vascular tissue.
-
Epidermal tissue is the outer protective covering of a plant.
-
Ground tissue fills the interior of a plant.
-
Vascular tissue transports water and nutrients within the plants as well as providing support.
Animal Tissues
- Epithelial tissue covers body surfaces, lines body cavities, and forms glands.
- Connective tissue binds and supports body parts.
- Muscular tissue moves the body and its parts.
- Nervous tissue receives stimuli and transmits nerve impulses.
Plant Cell Modifications
- Collenchyma tissue is flexible and provides support to the plant.
- Sclerenchyma tissue is rigid and gives support to the plant.
Animal Cell Modifications
- Cancer cells lose sensitivity to anti-growth signals, proliferate rapidly, and lose the ability to undergo apoptosis or programmed cell death.
- Endothelial cells form the inner lining of cardiovascular system and lymphatic system structures.
- Endothelial cells are responsible for angiogenesis or the creation of new blood vessels.
- Cilia are slender protuberances that project from the much larger cell body.
- Motile cilia beat in coordinated waves for the transport of fluids or for locomotion.
- Non-motile (primary cilia) are usually present one per cell.
