Study Notes
Pharmaceutical Botany with Taxonomy - Plant Tissue System
- The text is about the plant tissue system in pharmaceutical botany with taxonomy.
- Collenchyma is a type of plant tissue composed of elongated cells with a primary wall that becomes thickened in certain areas. It is found in the marginal regions of leaves and stems, beneath the epidermis, and provides flexibility and structural framework to plants.
- Sclerenchyma tissue is a cluster of cells that work together to perform a specific function.
- Meristematic tissues are tissues that develop through rapid division and can be found in root tips, shoots, buds, and anywhere growth occurs.
- Meristematic tissues are responsible for the major growth of plants in terms of length and diameter.
- Apical meristem is found in the growing tips or apical parts of stems and roots, and is responsible for longitudinal or height growth.
- Lateral meristem is found in the radial portion of the stem or root, and is responsible for thickness growth. It gives rise to secondary permanent tissues such as vascular cambium and cork cambium.
- Intercalary meristem is found at the internodes or at the base of leaves, and increases the growth of internodes.
- The plant tissue system plays a crucial role in the growth and development of plants.
- Understanding the different types of plant tissues is important in the field of pharmaceutical botany with taxonomy.
- The instructor for the course is Mr. Abasolo.
- The student is in the Herbs section of the course (BSPH-1E).
