Title: Plant Tissues- The Basics of Plant Tissues (and some advanced/cool stuff too)
Description: All living organisms are made of cells- which perform basic life functions. Each group of cells carries on function. For example, RBCs, WBCs and Platelets are responsible for circulation. They are parts of blood. So then, what is blood? Blood is a kind of tissue. We would be learning more about tissues, particularly plant tissues, in these notes. Coming to who am I? I am a Grade IX student who is pursuing science as his main subject. I have a track record of 98%; A*; A1 in science. I am an aspiring doctor, and med school isn't cheap. I look forward to earning money via my detailed and informative notes to afford further studies.

...
Permanent tissues: Two types such as Simple permanent tissues & Complex
permanent tissues
...
They are loosly packed and has
large intracellular space
...

- The parenchyma with large air spaces to give buoyancy is
called as aerenchyma
...

(ii) Collenchyma: Tissue provides mechanical support, thickened at the corners, have
very little intercellular space
...
Cells of this tissue are dead and commonly seen in the husk of
coconut
...
Guard cells kidney shaped in dicots, dumb bell shaped in monocots to guard the
stomata
...
The
epidermal tissues in desert plants have a thick waxy coating of Cutin with waterproof
quality
...

b) Complex permanent tissues: The complex tissues are made of more than one type
of cells
...

They are subdivided as;
Xylem: It consists of tracheids, vessels, xylem parenchyma and xylem fibers
...

Phloem: It consists of sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem parenchyma, and phloem fibers
...

(Please refer to Fig

...
Animal tissues: Sub divided as epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscular tissue
and nervous tissue
...


Epithelial tissue: It is a protective covering forming a continuous sheet
...

Depending on shape and function they are classified as:
a) Squamous epithelium in the lining of mouth and esophagus
...

c) Columnar epithelium in the intestine &Columnar epithelium with cilia in the
lining of respiratory tract
...

...
Blood plasma has RBCs (Red Blood
Cells) WBCs (White Blood Cells) and platelets
...
Blood flows and transports gases, digested food, hormones and waste materials
...
A bone is connected by another bone with another connective tissue called
ligaments
...

c) Cartilage: The cartilage is a connective tissue with solid matrix composed of
proteins and sugars
...

d) Areolar Connective Tissue: It is found between the skin and muscles, around
the blood vessels
...

e)Adipose Connective Tissue: It is filled with fat globules for the storage of fat
...

Three
types, such as;
Striated muscles/skeletal muscles/voluntary muscles :
They are cylindrical, un-branched and multinucleated
...

Unstriated muscles/smooth muscles/involuntary muscles:
They are commonly called as Smooth muscles, having no striations (dark bands/ light bands
are absent)
...
They are spindle
shaped
...
Involuntary in nature
