Ground TissueGround TissuePARENCHYMA COLLENCHYMA SCLERENCHYMA

Characteristics • spherical• thin-walled• living, metabolizing tissue

• elongated cells with unevenly thickened cell walls• alive at maturity

• with primary and secondary cell walls• dead at functional maturity

Location • throughout the plant • beneath the epidermis in young stems and in leaf veins

• fibers in wood, bark, leaves, stems• sclereids in fruits and seeds

Functions • photosynthesis and respiration• storage• regeneration

• flexible support system

• structural support

Appearance

Vascular TissueVascular Tissue

• Xylem– Conducts water and dissolved

minerals from the roots

• Phloem– Conducts dissolved food

materials, carbohydrates, in solution

• Continuous throughout plant

• Support plant body

All 4 types of tissues are present in the

root tip

FOUR TYPES OF ANIMAL FOUR TYPES OF ANIMAL TISSUESTISSUES

Epithelial TissueEpithelial Tissue(Covering)(Covering)• Tightly-joined closely-packed cells• One side of exposed to air or internal

fluid, other side attached to a basement membrane

• Covers outside of the body; lines internal organs and cavities

• Barrier against mechanical injury, invasive microorganisms, fluid loss

• Provides surface for absorption, excretion and transport of molecules

RELATE STRUCTURE TO FUNCTION!

Binding and support of other tissues Large amount of extracellular matrix with

fewer cells ECM - network of fibers in liquid, jelly-like or

solid matrix

Muscle TissueMuscle Tissue(Movement)(Movement)

• Composed of long cells called muscle fibers

• Contraction movement
