Production of woody tissues— secondary xylem, secondary phloem, and periderm
Secondary growth
Secondary growth increases in the ____
Width of a plant
Woody stem
From the outside in
Epidermis Periderm Cortex Primary phloem Secondary phloem Vascular cambium Secondary xylem Primary xylem Pith
In a woody stem the epidermis
Will be lost as the plant expands
____ replaces the epidermis
Periderm
Periderm is composed of
Cork, cork cambium and phelloderm
The cortex will be
Lost as the plant expands
Primary phloem is the part of the phloem ____ from the vascular cambium
Furthest
Secondary phloem contains bands of
Sclerenchyma fibers and parenchyma in phloem rays
Wood stem
Vascular cambium produces
Secondary xylem toward the inside
And
Secondary phloem toward the outside
Secondary xylem contains
Scattered sclerenchyma fibers and parenchyma in xylem Rays
The part of the xylem furthest from the vascular cambium
Primary xylem
___ is in the center
Pith
An annual ring can be divided into two regions
Early/spring wood and late/summer wood
Has very large vessels/tracheids
Early wood
Has smaller vessels/tracheids
Late wood
In diffuse porous an annual ring
Can NOT be divided into two regions
Angiosperm
Have vessels and tracheids
Has sieve tube elements
Is called a hard wood
Is DICOT only
Gymnosperm
Has tracheids only/ vesselless
Has sieve cells
Is called a soft wooed
Often has resin ducts/ canals
The three types of sections
Cross
radial
Tangential
A cut that is perpendicular to the long axis of the stem
Cross section or transverse section
A cut that is longitudinal to the long axis of the stem
Radial section also known as quarter sawed
A longitudinal cut off-center or on a tangent to the cylinder
Tangential section or plain sawed
The diameter of vessels and tracheids are seen
Xylem Rays look like bicycle spikes
Cross section or transverse section
