Aperçu

Welcome to the course on the Internal Structure of a Flowering Plant. This topic delves into the intricate organization of the major plant organs - root, stem, and leaf - highlighting their internal structures and functions.

Root: The root system of a plant plays a crucial role in anchoring the plant, absorbing water and minerals from the soil, and storing reserve food materials. When we examine a transverse section of a root, we observe distinct regions such as the epidermis, cortex, endodermis, and vascular cylinder. The epidermis is the outermost layer responsible for absorption, while the cortex provides support and storage. The endodermis surrounds the vascular cylinder, regulating the movement of water and minerals into the plant body. The vascular cylinder consists of xylem and phloem tissues responsible for water and nutrient transport, respectively.

Stem: The stem serves as a central axis supporting leaves, flowers, and fruits, in addition to transporting water, minerals, and organic compounds. A cross-section of a stem reveals an epidermis, cortex, vascular bundles, and pith. The epidermis acts as a protective barrier, preventing water loss and pathogen entry. The cortex provides structural support and storage. Vascular bundles, composed of xylem and phloem tissues, facilitate nutrient transport. The pith, located at the center, offers additional support and storage.

Leaf: Leaves are the primary photosynthetic organs of a plant, responsible for capturing sunlight and converting it into chemical energy. Examining a leaf's cross-section, we observe the upper and lower epidermis, mesophyll, and vascular bundles. The upper epidermis contains a waxy cuticle that reduces water loss. Mesophyll, consisting of palisade and spongy layers, performs photosynthesis. Vascular bundles, comprising xylem and phloem, ensure the transport of water, minerals, and sugars throughout the leaf.

Supporting tissues like collenchyma and sclerenchyma provide structural support to plant organs, while xylem and phloem fibers facilitate nutrient conduction. These tissues are strategically distributed in roots, stems, and leaves to uphold plant structures and maintain physiological functions.

By understanding the internal structure of a flowering plant, we gain insights into how these organs are adapted to perform their specific functions efficiently, contributing to the overall growth and development of the plant.

Next, we will shift our focus to the intricate arrangement of internal organs in mammals, exploring the digestive, reproductive, and excretory systems in detail.

Objectifs

Identify and describe supporting tissues in plants (collenchyma, sclerenchyma, xylem and phloem fibres)
Describe the distribution of supporting tissues in roots, stem, and leaf
Identify the transverse sections of root, stem, and leaf
Examine the arrangement of mammalian internal organs
Relate the structure of root, stem, and leaf to their functions
Describe the appearance and position of the digestive, reproductive, and excretory organs

Note de cours

Flowering plants, also known as angiosperms, possess complex internal structures that ensure their survival, growth, and reproduction. Understanding these structures is crucial for appreciating how plants function and adapt to their environments. This overview aims to delve into the various supporting tissues and the distribution of these tissues in roots, stems, and leaves, as well as examine the relationship between structure and function in different parts of the plant.
