Medicinal plants 2024/2025 Lecture 4 Anatomy Dr. Amal F. Soliman Associate Professor of Pharmacognosy Plant tissues Apical Meristematic Intercalary Vascular cambium Cork Types of Lateral cambium Tissue Dermal Interfascicular cambium permanent Ground Vascular Secretory The vascular or conducting tissue ▪ They are composed of Xylem, the principal water conducting tissue and Phloem, the food conducting tissues. ‫اخلشب‬ ‫اللحاء‬ Xylem ‫اخلشب‬ Xylem is a complex tissue; it consists of several types of cells. The characteristic components are the tracheary and atracheary elements. The tracheary elements (tracheids and vessels) combine the function of conduction with that of support. Atracheary elements, Xylem fibers and parenchyma. They have no role in conduction, they are specialized supporting elements. Conduction and support Tracheids Tracheary elements Vessels Xylem Xylem elements Atracheary fibers elements Xylem Support only parenchyma The tracheary elements (tracheids and vessels) combine the function of conduction with that of support. ▪ Each tracheid is a single, ▪ Vessels are narrow or elongated cell with bluntly wide water conducting tapering tubes, formed from..ends (Non- number of cells, by a perforated end walls)... partial or complete ▪ Pitted (bordered type pits). disintegration of their end walls (perforated end walls). ‫القصبات الهوائية‬ Tracheids Vessels ‫ا ألوعية‬ Types of xylem vessels: 1- Annular When the thickening are in the form or rings at intervals. 2- Spiral when the wall show a spiral line of thickening. 3- Reticulate When the thickening of the walls takes the form of network. 4- Pitted or bordered pitted When the whole wall becomes thickened except of numerous small areas or pits which are usually bordered. 5- Scalariform Pits are transversely elongated giving a ladder- like appearance. Tracheids Vessels Phloem ‫اللحاء‬ Phloem is a complex tissue, composed of several different kinds of cells. The main phloem elements are the sieve elements which are the principal food conducting tissue of the vascular plants. They are composed of: o Sieve tubes o Companion cells o Phloem parenchyma o Phloem fiber Types of V.B. ‫احلزم الوعائية‬ The phloem and xylem are associated with each other within V.B., the variation in the arrangement of these vascular tissues in the bundles have led to the establishment of different bundle types. 1- Collateral: phloem outside and xylem inside (on the same radius). a- Open: In most dicot. stems. It has a vascular cambium between Xylem and phloem. b- Closed: In monocot. plants. The vascular bundles have no cambium. 2- Bicollateral: Xylem occur between two patches of phloem on the same radius. Such bundles occur in dicot stem. 3- Concentric: (One kind of vascular tissue surround one another). a- Amphicribral: if phloem surrounds the xylem. b- Amphivasal: if xylem surrounds the phloem. 4- Radial: xylem and phloem patches are on different radii alternating with each other (as in root). Each phloem strand is separated from adjacent xylem by parenchyma cells. Amphicribral Amphivasal Radial Closed collateral V.B. Skull shaped (Monocot) Plant tissues Apical Meristematic Intercalary Vascular cambium Cork Types of Lateral cambium Tissue Dermal Interfascicular cambium permanent Ground Vascular Secretory D) The secretory tissue Glandular Cells hairs Glands Hydathodes Ducts Nectaries Glands classified into: Have central cavities in the tissue. These cavities originate in two ways: ✓ Schizogenous Through the dissolution of the middle lamella. It is characterized by the regular cavity and by the presence of special layer of small cells round the internal cavity. ✓ Lysigenous through the dissolution of entire cells, leaving a space in which the secretion accumulates and the cavities usually contains the remains of cells. 2- Digestive glands: ‫الغدد الهامضة‬ Certain plants possess a highly characteristic method of nutrition known as the insectivorous or carnivorous habit. The function of these glands: 1- Pour out a sticky secretion to aid in insect capture. 2- Or to supply protein-digesting enzymes, these enzymes act upon the captured organisms so that the products of digestion can be absorbed by plant. 3- Nectaries ‫اخلالاي الرحيقية‬ o These are simply modified epidermis found in most flowers (rare in leaf or stem where they are called extra-floral). o The epidermis of these gland areas has no cuticle. o They secrete sugary substance, known as nectar, it serves to attract insects. 4- Hydathodes (water stomata) It associated with water excretion. o It is a permanently open stomata supplied beneath with a strand of vascular cells. o On warm damp nights, when abundant absorption occurs and the stomata are closed, the excess moisture is removed through these glands. o Hydathodes often occur at leaf margins. 5- Ducts ‫القنوات‬ Resins, latex, gums are often secreted and conducted within the plant body in ducts. ▪ Laticiferous ducts release their milky secretions out when they are cut open. Some lateces have great economic importance especially the hydrocarbon substance called caoutchouc, the source of rubber. Other lateces are of medical interest like that of papaver, source of opium. * Match the following statements (write only the numbers next to the matched sentence).
