Study Notes
Grafting
- A method of plant propagation involving joining a part of one plant to another
- The grafted part is called the scion
- The plant it is attached to is called the rootstock
- Both parts are tightly bound to ensure they integrate
- Two types of grafting: budding and compound grafting
- Budding involves taking a bud from a desired plant and placing it in the parent plant
- Compound grafting uses a stem segment which is inserted into a cut on the rootstock
- Fruit trees like oranges, mandarins, and kinnows can be propagated using grafting
Palm Tree Propagation
- Palm trees are propagated using offshoots (fasils)
- Offshoots are lateral growth arising from the base of the plant
- There are two types of offshoots: ground and aerial
- Ground offshoots are located near the base of the tree and connected to the soil
- Aerial offshoots are located high up on the trunk, away from the soil
- Ground offshoots are preferable for cultivation due to their strong root system
- Offshoots are identical to the parent plant
- Other plants like bananas reproduce via offshoots
Plant Propagation
- The text discusses the importance of dates as a food source
- The text also briefly discusses other plants that reproduce through offshoots
The Nervous System
- The nervous system is a complex system that controls the activities of the human body.
- The nervous system is divided into the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
- The CNS includes the brain and spinal cord:
- The brain is located inside the skull
- It's composed of the cerebrum, cerebellum, and medulla oblongata
- The spinal cord connects to the brain via the medulla oblongata and branches out to the rest of the body via nerves
- The PNS consists of nerves that extend throughout the body
The Axial Skeleton
- The axial skeleton supports the body, protects vital organs, and enables movement
- Components of the axial skeleton: skull, vertebral column, thoracic cage, ribs, vertebrae, cartilage, and joints
- The vertebral column supports the body and protects the spinal cord
- The ribs attach to the sternum (breastbone) and protect the organs within the thoracic cavity
The Appendicular Skeleton
- The appendicular skeleton consists of the upper limbs and lower limbs
- Upper limbs include the shoulder girdle, arm, and hand
- Lower limbs include the pelvic girdle, leg, and foot
- The hand contains 27 bones, which is more bones than any other part of the body
- Joints connect bones, allowing for a range of motion
- Cartilage prevents friction and damage to the skeletal system
