  2. Onion epidermal cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onion_epidermal_cell

    The clear epidermal cells exist in a single layer and do not contain chloroplasts, because the onion fruiting body (bulb) is used for storing energy, not photosynthesis. [3] Each plant cell has a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, and a large vacuole. The nucleus is present at the periphery of the cytoplasm.

    Onion epidermis cells are visible in true color with minimal magnification. Onions have particularly large cells that are easy to observe under low magnification. Forming a single layer of cells, the bulb epidermis is easy to separate for educational, experimental, and breeding purposes.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidermis

    The epidermis is composed of multiple layers of flattened cells [4] that overlie a base layer (stratum basale) composed of columnar cells arranged perpendicularly. The layers of cells develop from stem cells in the basal layer. The thickness of the epidermis varies from 31.2μm for the penis to 596.6μm for the sole of the foot with most being ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidermis_(botany)

    The epidermis (from the Greek ἐπιδερμίς, meaning "over-skin") is a single layer of cells that covers the leaves, flowers, roots and stems of plants. It forms a boundary between the plant and the external environment. The epidermis serves several functions: it protects against water loss, regulates gas exchange, secretes metabolic ...

  7. Meristem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meristem

    The epidermal (L1) and subepidermal (L2) layers form the outer layers called the tunica. The inner L3 layer is called the corpus. Cells in the L1 and L2 layers divide in a sideways fashion, which keeps these layers distinct, whereas the L3 layer divides in a more random fashion. In cell biology, the meristem is a type of tissue found in

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkel_nerve_ending

    Merkel nerve endings (also Merkel's disks, [1] or Merkel tactile endings[2]) are mechanoreceptors situated in the basal epidermis as well as around the apical ends or some hair follicles. [2] They are slowly adapting They have small receptive fields measuring some milimeters in diameter. Most are associated with fast-conducting large myelinated ...
