Longitudinal Section Of Stem

Last edited 7th feb 2020.

Longitudinal section of stem. It is wavy in outline and thus shows distinct ridges and furrows fig. However such section of an organ would reveal the cellular and or tissue level organization. Back from the pine stem tip the procambium has produced primary xylem and phloem.

It cucurbita maxima of family cucurbitaceae is a weak plant climbing with the help of the tendrils. Longitudinal section of a coleus stem tip for meristematic tissue. The longitudinal section of a skeletal muscle will show the muscle fibres with their important.

The longitudinal section is not limited to the entire body but it could be used to refer the same dissection as described above for an organ as well. Cells of a stem meristems produce new living tissues. The procambium leading into one of the leaf primordia is visible from the elongated cells and their nuclei.

Xylem and phloem conduct water across the plant. Transverse and longitudinal sections of the stem are taken stained suit ably and studied under the microscope. Young stem of cucurbita.

Close up of part of the pine stem bud shown at left. Underground stem aerial stem and subaerial stem are three different types of stem. Longitudinal section through the tip of a pine stem bud.

Stem anatomy a longitudinal section left and cross section right of a growing stem show the organization of various tissues for younger top and older bottom parts of the stem. Stems stores food water and nutrients.
