    Tissues

    This section discusses the fundamental differences between plant and animal tissues, elaborating on their structure, function, and classification.

  • 6.1

    Are Plants And Animals Made Of Same Types Of Tissues?

    This section compares the tissues found in plants and animals, highlighting their differences in structure, function, and specialization.

  • 6.2

    Plant Tissues

    The section elaborate on various types of plant tissues, focusing on meristematic and permanent tissues, their roles, structures, and functions.

  • 6.2.1

    Meristematic Tissue

    Meristematic tissue is the growth tissue in plants responsible for the development of new cells.

  • 6.2.2

    Permanent Tissue

    Permanent tissues are essential components of plants that arise from meristematic tissue and serve specific functions.

  • 6.2.2 (i)

    Simple Permanent Tissue

    Simple permanent tissues consist of relatively unspecialized cells that have lost the ability to divide and perform specific functions in plants.

  • 6.2.2 (ii)

    Complex Permanent Tissue

    Complex permanent tissues, such as xylem and phloem, are essential for transportation and support in plants and consist of multiple cell types coordinated for specific functions.

  • 6.3

    Animal Tissues

    Animal tissues consist of specialized cells grouped together to perform specific functions, including epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissues.

  • 6.3.1

    Epithelial Tissue

    Epithelial tissue serves as protective layers in the body, covers organs, and facilitates material exchange.

  • 6.3.2

    Connective Tissue

    Connective tissue consists of loosely packed cells embedded in an intercellular matrix, playing a vital role in connecting and supporting body structures.

  • 6.3.3

    Muscular Tissue

    Muscular tissue is responsible for body movement and is characterized by elongated cells that can contract and relax.

  • 6.3.4

    Nervous Tissue

    Nervous tissue enables rapid communication and response within the body through specialized cells called neurons.
