TYPES OF TISSUES
Vikasana – Bridge Course 2012
An angiosperm plant body is composed of two basic
types of tissues namely meristematic and permanenttypes of tissues namely meristematic and permanent
tissues.
Meristematic cells are undifferentiated compactly
arranged. They have thin cell wall abundantarranged. They have thin cell wall abundant
cytoplasm and prominent nucleus.

Based on position, meristem can be distinguished into apical, intercalary and lateral.

Permanent or mature tissues are formed by
differentiated cells which are specialized towardsdifferentiated cells, which are specialized towards
various functions.
Permanent tissues can be broadly differentiated into
simple or homogenous tissues and complex orp g p
heterogenous tissues.

Permanent Tissue
Simple Complex Tissue Tissue
Parenchyma Collenchyma sclernchyma Xylem Phleom
Vikasana – Bridge Course 2012
Simple permanent tissues are composed of identical
cells These tissues can be distinguished into 3 types cells. These tissues can be distinguished into 3 types
parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma.
Complex permanent tissues are composed of different
types of cells. They are distinguished into two types yp y g yp
xylem and phloem.

Parenchyma is a simple, living, storage tissue
occurring in every part of the plant body It also takesoccurring in every part of the plant body. It also takes
part in photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration and
secretion.
Vikasana – Bridge Course 2012
Collenchyma is a simple, living, mechanical tissue thatoccurs only in the shoot system. It has cells haveuneven thickenings which provide mechanical supportuneven thickenings which provide mechanical supportand protection.
Vikasana – Bridge Course 2012
Sclerenchyma is a simple, dead, mechanical h ll d d dtissue. The cells are dead at maturity due to
deposition of lignin.Sclerenchyma performs l h i l f ti h t ti only mechanical functions such as protection
and support.
Vikasana – Bridge Course 2012
Xylem is the water conducting tissue of the plant body. It has four cellular elements tracheids, tracheae, fibres and parenchyma of which only xylem parenchyma is and parenchyma of which only xylem parenchyma is living.
Vikasana – Bridge Course 2012
Phloem is the food conducting tissue in the plant
body. It has four cellular elements sieve tubes,
companion cells, phloem parenchyma and phloem
fibers of which only phloem fibers are dead cellsfibers of which only phloem fibers are dead cells.
Vikasana – Bridge Course 2012
Sieve tubes are the most active food conducting
elements They are composed of rows of sieve tubeelements. They are composed of rows of sieve tube
cells separated by perforated sieve plates

Filling spaces between the dermal and vascular tissues
Responsible for metabolic functions
Consists of:
Parenchyma cells (majority) …and Pith
Collenchyma cells

Vascular Tissue System
Responsible for transporting water mineral nutrientsResponsible for transporting water, mineral nutrients,
and organic molecules between roots and shoots
They are arranged in strands called vascular bundles
