In this post we are going to discuss about Plant Tissue. For the post of Morphology and Anatomy of Frog, Click here . Plant Tissue : •A tissue is a group of cells having a common origin and usually performing a common function. •A plant is made up of different kinds of tissues. •Tissues are classified into two main groups, namely, meristematic and permanent tissues based on whether the cells being formed are capable of dividing or not. For the post of Morphology and Anatomy of Cockroach, Click here . Meristematic Tissue : •Growth in plants is largely restricted to specialised regions of active cell division called meristems (Gk. meristos: divided). •Plants have different kinds of meristems. •The meristems which occur at the tips of roots and shoots and produce primary tissues are called apical meristems. •Root apical meristem occupies the tip of a root while the shoot apical meristem occupies the distant most region of ...
Body Organisation Animals have three germinal layers of cell in their embryonic stage. Those layers are called Ectoderm , Endoderm and Meroderm . On the basis of presence of mesoderm or middle layer, animals are divided into two categories- • Diploblastic: Animals that have only two embryonic layers are called diploblastic body organisation. They lac the mesoderm layer. An undifferentiated layer called mesoglea is present instead of mesoderm e.g. Coelenterates • Triploblastic: Animal that have all three embryonic layers are called to have triploblastic body organisation. Mesoderm is present in between Ectoderm and Endoderm. e.g. Platyhelminthes to Chordates Body organisation (Germinal layers) (a) Diploblastic (b) Triploblastic Click here for part 1 of this chapter Click here for part 2 of this chapter
Symmetry • Asymmetrical: Any plane that passes through the center doesn't divide the following organism into two equal half e.g. sponges • Radial Symmetry: Any plane that passes through the central axis of the body divides the following organism into two equal halves e.g. Coelenterates , Ctenophores, Adult Echinoderms Radial Symmetry( Hydra sp. ) • Bilateral Symmetry: The body of the following organism can be divided into two equal halves if and only if the cutting plane pass through in a particular way through central axis e.g. Annelids , Arthropods etc. Bilateral Symmetry( Brachyura sp.)
