#plant_tissue__planttissue the tissue of a plant
supertype: tissue a part of an organism consisting of an aggregate of cells having a similar structure and function
substance of: plant
subtype: interstitial_tissue tissue between the cells of a structure or part in plant or animal
subtype: 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
subtype: astroglia__macroglia tissue consisting of large stellate neuroglial cells
subtype: microglia neuroglial tissue of mesodermal origin that can become phagocytic
subtype: oligodendroglia tissue consisting of glial cells with sheet-like processes that form the myelin sheath of nerve fibers
subtype: fibrous_tissue__fibroustissue tissue consisting or or containing fibers in both animals and plants
subtype: 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)
subtype: cortex the tissue forming the outer layer of an organ or structure in plant or animal
subtype: adrenal_cortex__adrenalcortex the cortex of the adrenal gland; secretes corticosterone and sex hormones
subtype: renal_cortex__renalcortex the cortex of the kidney containing the glomeruli and the convoluted tubules
subtype: medulla the inner part of an organ or structure in plant or animal
subtype: adrenal_medulla__adrenalmedulla the medulla of the adrenal gland; secretes epinephrine
subtype: stroma.plant_tissue the dense colorless framework of a chloroplast
subtype: pulp.plant_tissue__flesh a soft moist part of a fruit
subtype: pith soft spongelike central cylinder of the stems of most flowering plants
subtype: parenchyma.plant_tissue 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
subtype: lignum woody tissue
subtype: vascular_tissue tissue that conducts water and nutrients through the plant body in higher plants
subtype: stele the usually cylindrical central vascular portion of the axis of a vascular plant
subtype: cambium.vascular_tissue formative one-cell-thick layer of tissue between xylem and phloem in most vascular plants that is responsible for secondary growth
subtype: vascular_bundle__vascular_strand__fibrovascular_bundle__fibrovascularbundle a unit strand of the vascular system in stems and leaves of higher plants consisting essentially of xylem and phloem
subtype: vascular_ray__medullary_ray__medullaryray a sheet of vascular tissue separating the vascular bundles
subtype: xylem the woody part of plants: the supporting and water-conducting tissue, consisting primarily of tracheids and vessels
subtype: tracheid long tubular cell peculiar to xylem
subtype: phloem__bast (botany) tissue that conducts synthesized food substances (e.g., from leaves) to parts where needed; consists primarily of sieve tubes
subtype: sieve_tube__sievetube tube formed by cells joined end-to-end through which nutrients flow in flowering plants and brown algae
subtype: pseudophloem false phloem
subtype: gall abnormal swelling of plant tissue caused by insects or microorganisms or injury
subtype: oak_apple__oakapple oak gall caused by larvae of a cynipid wasp
subtype: meristem undifferentiated tissue from which new cells are formed, as at the tip of a stem or root
subtype: skin.plant_tissue__rind the tissue forming the hard outer layer of e.g. a fruit
