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.
