MERISTEMATIC TISSUES
MERISTEMATIC

Meristematic tissues are cells or group of cells that

have the ability to divide. These tissues in a plant
consist of small, densely packed cells that can keep
dividing to form new cells. The two types of meristems
are primary meristems and secondary meristems.
PERMANENT TISSUES
PARENCHYMA

Parenchyma forms the bulk of plant ground tissue,

where they may be specialized to function in
photosynthesis, storage, or transport. Parenchyma is
integral to vascular tissue, where it provides a route
of exchange for materials within and between the
xylem and the phloem.
PERMANENT TISSUES
COLLENCHYMA

Collenchyma tissue is composed of elongated cells with

irregular thickened walls. they provide structural
support particularly in growing shoots and leaves .
Collenchyma cells are usually living, and have only an
thick primarily cell wall made up of cellulose and pectin.
PERMANENT TISSUES
SCLERENCHYMA

Sclerenchyma (scleras-hard) is the chief mechanical

tissue of plants. The cells are usually long, narrow,
pointed at both ends and uniformly thickened by the
deposition of lignin. The walls are often very highly
thickened so that the lumen or cell cavity is nearly
obliterated.
