-
interstitial tissue
tissue between the cells of a structure or part in plant or animal
-
fibrous tissue
tissue consisting of or containing fibers in both animals and plants
-
cortex
the tissue forming the outer layer of an organ or structure in plant or animal
-
medulla
the inner part of an organ or structure in plant or animal
-
perisperm
the nutritive tissue outside the sac containing the embryo in some seeds
-
stroma
the dense colorless framework of a chloroplast
-
stroma
a mass of fungal tissue that has spore-bearing structures embedded in it or on it
-
flesh, pulp
a soft moist part of a fruit
-
pith
soft spongelike central cylinder of the stems of most flowering plants
-
parenchyma
the primary tissue of higher plants composed of thin-walled cells that remain capable of cell division even when mature; constitutes the greater part of leaves, roots, the pulp of fruits, and the pith of stems
-
lignum
woody tissue
-
vascular tissue
tissue that conducts water and nutrients through the plant body in higher plants
-
pseudophloem
false phloem
-
gall
abnormal swelling of plant tissue caused by insects or microorganisms or injury
-
meristem
undifferentiated tissue from which new cells are formed, as at the tip of a stem or root
-
trabecula
rod-shaped structures of fibrous tissue that divide an organ into parts (as in the penis) or stabilize the structure of an organ (as in the spleen)
-
glia, neuroglia
sustentacular tissue that surrounds and supports neurons in the central nervous system; glial and neural cells together compose the tissue of the central nervous system
-
adrenal cortex
the cortex of the adrenal gland; secretes corticosterone and sex hormones
-
renal cortex
the cortex of the kidney containing the glomeruli and the convoluted tubules
-
adrenal medulla
the medulla of the adrenal gland; secretes epinephrine
-
chlorenchyma
parenchyma whose cells contain chloroplasts
-
stele
the usually cylindrical central vascular portion of the axis of a vascular plant
-
cambium
a formative one-cell layer of tissue between xylem and phloem in most vascular plants that is responsible for secondary growth
-
fibrovascular bundle, vascular bundle, vascular strand
a unit strand of the vascular system in stems and leaves of higher plants consisting essentially of xylem and phloem
-
medullary ray, vascular ray
a sheet of vascular tissue separating the vascular bundles
-
xylem
the woody part of plants: the supporting and water-conducting tissue, consisting primarily of tracheids and vessels
-
tracheid
long tubular cell peculiar to xylem
-
bast, phloem
(botany) tissue that conducts synthesized food substances (e.g., from leaves) to parts where needed; consists primarily of sieve tubes
-
sieve tube
tube formed by cells joined end-to-end through which nutrients flow in flowering plants and brown algae
-
oak apple
oak gall caused by larvae of a cynipid wasp
