Study Notes

Plant Tissues

Plant tissues are categorized into meristematic and permanent tissues.
Meristematic tissues are actively dividing tissues found in specific plant regions.
Apical meristems are at the tips of stems and roots, increasing length.
Lateral meristem (cambium) is in the vascular bundles, increasing girth.
Intercalary meristems are near nodes and help internodes elongate.
Meristematic cells have dense cytoplasm, thin walls, prominent nuclei, and lack vacuoles.
Permanent tissues are formed from meristematic tissues after losing their ability to divide.
Simple permanent tissues include parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma.
Parenchyma has thin walls and large intercellular spaces; stores food and aids photosynthesis.
Collenchyma has irregularly thickened walls; provides flexibility and support.
Sclerenchyma has thick, lignified walls, no internal spaces, and provides strength.
Complex permanent tissues include xylem and phloem.
Xylem transports water and minerals, including tracheids, vessels, xylem parenchyma, and xylem fibers.
Phloem transports food, including sieve tubes, sieve cells, companion cells, and phloem fibers.
Protective tissues include epidermis and cork.
Epidermis is a single outer layer that secretes a waxy cuticle to prevent water loss.
Stomata are pores for gaseous exchange and transpiration.
Cork is formed from secondary meristem and contains dead cells with suberin; provides insulation preventing water loss.

Animal Tissues

Animal tissues are categorized into epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissues.
Epithelial tissues cover and protect surfaces, line cavities, and regulate material exchange.
Epithelial tissue types include simple squamous (thin and flat), stratified squamous (multiple layers), cuboidal (cube-shaped), columnar (tall and pillar-like), ciliated columnar (with cilia), and glandular (secreting substances).
Connective tissues support, connect, or separate tissues and organs.
Blood contains a liquid matrix (plasma), transporting gases, nutrients, and waste.
Bone is a hard matrix made of calcium and phosphorous providing structural support.
Cartilage is flexible and smoothens joint surfaces.
Tendons connect muscles to bones, while ligaments connect bones to bones.
Areolar tissue connects skin to muscles and fills spaces, supporting organs.
Adipose tissue stores fat and acts as an insulator.
Muscular tissue is responsible for movement.
Types of muscular tissue include striated (voluntary, attached to bones), smooth (involuntary, in organs), and cardiac (involuntary, in the heart).
Nervous tissue transmits signals across the body.
Nervous tissue is composed of neurons.
Neurons have cell bodies, dendrites (receiving signals), and axons (transmitting signals.).
Nervous tissue is located in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
