  2. Pith - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pith

    In some plants, the pith in the middle of the stem may dry out and disintegrate, resulting in a hollow stem. A few plants, such as walnuts, have distinctive chambered pith with numerous short cavities (see image at middle right). The cells in the peripheral parts of the pith may, in some plants, develop to be different from cells in the rest of ...

  3. Meristem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meristem

    The corpus and tunica play a critical part of the plant physical appearance as all plant cells are formed from the meristems. Apical meristems are found in two locations: the root and the stem. Some arctic plants have an apical meristem in the lower/middle parts of the plant.

  4. ABC model of flower development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_model_of_flower...

    The meristem can be defined as the tissue or group of plant tissues that contain undifferentiated stem cells, which are capable of producing any type of cell tissue.Their maintenance and development, both in the vegetative meristem or the meristem of the inflorescence is controlled by genetic cell fate determination mechanisms.

    Medulla of the thymus, a part of the lobes of the thymus; Medulla of lymph node; Medulla (hair), the innermost layer of the hair shaft; Medulla, a part of the optic lobe of arthropods; Medulla (lichenology), a layer of the internal structure of a lichen; Pith, or medulla, a tissue in the stems of vascular plants

  6. Olivary body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivary_body

    Each olivary body is located on the anterior surface of the medulla lateral to the pyramid, from which it is separated by the antero-lateral sulcus and the fibers of the hypoglossal nerve. Behind ( dorsally ), it is separated from the postero-lateral sulcus by the ventral spinocerebellar fasciculus .

    A plant which completes its life cycle (i.e. germinates, reproduces, and dies) within two years or growing seasons. Biennial plants usually form a basal rosette of leaves in the first year and then flower and fruit in the second year. bifid Forked; cut in two for about half its length. Compare trifid. bifoliate

  8. Brainstem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainstem

    The medulla oblongata, often just referred to as the medulla, is the lower half of the brainstem continuous with the spinal cord. Its upper part is continuous with the pons. [11]: 1121 The medulla contains the cardiac, dorsal and ventral respiratory groups, and vasomotor centres, dealing with heart rate, breathing and blood pressure.

  9. Climbing fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climbing_fiber

    Climbing fibers are the name given to a series of neuronal projections from the inferior olivary nucleus located in the medulla oblongata. [1] [2] These axons pass through the pons and enter the cerebellum via the inferior cerebellar peduncle where they form synapses with the deep cerebellar nuclei and Purkinje cells. Each climbing fiber will ...
