II. 2 categories of tissues A. Meristematic tissues 1. Apical meristem (1 0 growth) 2. Lateral meristems (2 0 growth) a. vascular cambium b. cork cambium 3. Intercalary meristems
13
Meristems
14
B. Non-meristematic tissues 1. Simple tissues a. parenchyma b. collenchyma c. sclerenchyma fibers sclerids 1 0 cell walls 1 0 and 2 0 cell walls parenchyma collenchyma sclerenchyma /lignin
15
2. Complex tissues a. xylem b. phloem c. periderm B. Non-meristematic tissues Outer bark 2 0 xylem = wood 2 0 phloem = inner bark Vascular cambium
16
Vessels and Tracheids
18
Phloem: stms
19
III. Tissue arrangements dermal ground (cortex and pith) vascular (xylem and phloem) epidermis cuticle Herbaceous dicot Vascular bundle A. dermal, ground, vascular
21
B. 3 stem types Vegetative growth 1. Herbaceous dicot 2. Monocot 3. Woody
