    Study Notes

    Tissues

    • Tissues are groups of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function.
    • Plants and animals both have a variety of tissues.

    Plant Tissues

    • Meristematic Tissue: Actively dividing cells with thin cell walls, dense cytoplasm and no vacuoles. Responsible for growth in plants.
      • Apical Meristem: Found at the tips of roots and stems, responsible for increase in length.
      • Lateral Meristem: Found in the cambium layer and responsible for increase in girth.
      • Intercalary Meristem: Found at the base of leaves and internodes, responsible for increasing the length of internodes.
    • Permanent Tissue: Cells that have stopped dividing and are specialized for a specific function.
      • Parenchyma: Thin-walled cells with large vacuoles. Involved in storage, photosynthesis, and gas exchange.
      • Collenchyma: Thick-walled cells with uneven thickening at corners. Provide flexibility and support.
      • Sclerenchyma: Thick-walled cells with lignin. Provide strength and support.

    Animal Tissues

    • Epithelial Tissue: Forms coverings and linings of organs and cavities. Function is protection, absorption, secretion, and excretion.
    • Connective Tissue: Provides support, connects different tissues, and aids in transport.
      • Areolar Tissue: Loose connective tissue with collagen and elastin fibers. Found beneath the skin and around organs.
      • Adipose Tissue: Fat-storing tissue, acts as insulation and energy reserve.
      • Skeletal Tissue: Includes cartilage and bone. Offers support, protection, and movement.
      • Blood: Fluid connective tissue that transports oxygen, nutrients, and waste products.
    • Muscle Tissue: Specialized for contraction and movement.
      • Striated Muscle: Attached to bones and responsible for voluntary movement.
      • Smooth Muscle: Found in the walls of internal organs and responsible for involuntary movement.
      • Cardiac Muscle: Found in the heart and responsible for the heart's beating.
    • Nervous Tissue: Composed of neurons and glial cells. Responsible for communication and coordination in the body.
      • Neurons: Conduct nerve impulses. Have dendrites and an axon.

    Key Points

    • The girth of the stem increases due to Lateral Meristem.
    • The length of the stem increases due to Apical Meristem.
    • Plants have more living tissues compared to animals.
    • The human body stores fat in Adipose Tissue.
    • Cartilage is found in the nose, ear, and trachea.
    • Involuntary muscles are smooth and cardiac muscle.
    • Xylem Parenchyma helps in sideways conduction of water.
