  2. Ground tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_tissue

    Annular collenchyma (uniformly thickened cell walls) Lacunar collenchyma (collenchyma with intercellular spaces) Collenchyma cells are most often found adjacent to outer growing tissues such as the vascular cambium and are known for increasing structural support and integrity. The first use of "collenchyma" (/ k ə ˈ l ɛ ŋ k ɪ m ə, k ɒ ...

  3. Tissue (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_(biology)

    Cross section of collenchyma cells. Collenchyma (Greek, 'Colla' means gum and 'enchyma' means infusion) is a living tissue of primary body like Parenchyma. Cells are thin-walled but possess thickening of cellulose, water and pectin substances (pectocellulose) at the corners where a number of cells join. This tissue gives tensile strength to the ...

  4. Plant stem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_stem

    Dermal tissue covers the outer surface of the stem and usually functions to protect the stem tissue, and control gas exchange. [6] The predominant cells of dermal tissue are epidermal cells. [6] Ground tissue usually consists mainly of parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma cells, and they surround vascular tissue. Ground tissue is important ...

  5. Collocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collocyte

    The collencytes are one of the classes of component cells of the sponges' tissue, loose mesenchyme between the ectoderm and the endoderm in the body wall. [14] The functions of the collencytes are not yet fully understood; they are branched amoeboid cells and appear to produce collagen and play roles in forming sponge spicules. It even has been ...

  6. Cortex (botany) - Wikipedia

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

    Some of the outer cortical cells may contain chloroplasts, giving them a green color. They can therefore produce simple carbohydrates through photosynthesis. [4] In woody plants, the cortex is located between the periderm (bark) and the vascular tissue (phloem, in particular). It is responsible for the transportation of materials into the ...

  9. Secondary cell wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_cell_wall

    The cell starts producing the secondary cell wall after the primary cell wall is complete and the cell has stopped expanding. [1] It is most prevalent in the Ground tissue found in vascular plants, with Collenchyma having little to no lignin, and Sclerenchyma having lignified secondary cells walls.
