This document summarizes and compares the main types of plant and animal tissues. It outlines that plant tissues are divided into meristematic and permanent tissues, with meristematic tissue providing growth and permanent tissue conducting materials. Animal tissues include four primary types - epithelial, connective, muscular and nervous tissues. Each tissue type has subcategories and performs distinct functions like transport, connection or movement.

1. PLANT TISSUES
&
ANIMAL TISSUES

2. PLANT TISSUES
• A plant tissue can be defined as a cell or a group of
cells dividing, to give rise to large number of cell,
which is collectively referred as tissues. They are
structurally and functionally similar to these cells.
• There are two types of plant tissues-
1) Meristematic Tissue 2) Permanent Tissue

3. MERISTEMATIC TISSUE
• The meristematic tissue is an area of active plant
growth. Undifferentiated cells divide and form new,
specialized cells. Meristematic tissue may be the
cambium layer, leaf or flower buds, shoot tips, or root
tips.
• There are three types of meristematic tissue-
1) Apical Meristem 2) Lateral Meristem 3) Intercalary
Meristem

4. • Apical Meristem- It is present at
the growing tips of stems and
roots and increases the length of
the stem and the root.
• Lateral Meristem- The girth of
the stem or root increases due to
lateral meristem.
• Intercalary Meristem- It is the
meristem at the base of the
leaves or internodes on twigs.

5. PERMANENT TISSUE
• Permanent tissue is a
plant tissue that has completed its
growth and differentiation and is
usually incapable of meristematic
activity.
• There are two type of permanent
tissue-
1) Simple Permanent Tissue
2) Complex Permanent Tissue

6. SIMPLE PERMANENT TISSUE
• A group of cells which are similar in origin, similar in
structure and similar in function are called simple
permanent tissue.
• There are three types of simple permanent tissue-
1) Parenchyma
2) Collenchyma
3) Sclerenchyma

7. COMPLEX PERMANENT TISSUE
• Complex tissues help in the transportation of organic
material, water and minerals up and down the plants.
That is why it is also known as conducting and
vascular tissue.
• The common types of complex permanent tissue are:
Xylem or wood. Phloem or bast.

8. ANIMAL TISSUES
• Animal Tissues- A pliable sheet of tissue that covers or
lines or connects the organs or cells of animals or plants.
cortex. the tissue forming the outer layer of an organ or
structure in animal. medulla. the inner part of an organ or
structure in animal.
• There are four types of animal tissues-
1) Epithelial Tissue 2) Connective Tissue
3) Muscular Tissue 4) Nervous Tissue

9. EPITHELIAL TISSUE
• Epithelial tissue is a membranous tissue covering internal
organs and other internal surfaces of the body.
• There are 4 types of Epithelial tissue-
1) Simple Squamous
2) Simple Cuboidal
3) Simple Columnar
4) Stratified Squamous

10. CONNECTIVE TISSUE
• Connective tissue is a tissue that connects, supports,
binds, or separates other tissues or organs, typically
having relatively few cells embedded in an amorphous
matrix, often with collagen or other fibres, and
including cartilaginous, fatty, and elastic tissues.
• There are five types of connective tissue-
1)Areolar Tissue 2) Adipose Tissue
3) Compact Bone 4) Hyaline Cartilage
5) Blood Cell

11. AREOLAR TISSUE
• Areolar tissue is a common type of loose connective
tissue. It is so named because its fibers are far enough
apart to leave ample open space for interstitial tissue
in between.
• It consists of six parts-
1) Reticular fibre 2) fibroblast
3) Macrophage 4) Collagen fibre
5) Mast Cell 6) Plasma Cell

12. ADIPOSE TISSUE
• Adipose tissue, or fat, is an anatomical term for loose
connective tissue composed of adipocytes. Its main
role is to store energy in the form of fat, although it
also cushions and insulates the body.

13. COMPACT BONE
• Compact bone, is one of the two types of osseous
tissue that form bones.
Cortical bone facilitates bone's main functions: to
support the whole body, protect organs, provide
levers for movement, and store and release chemical
elements, mainly calcium.

14. HYALINE CARTILAGE
•A translucent bluish-white type of cartilage
present in the joints, the respiratory tract, and
the immature skeleton.

15. BLOOD CELLS
• Blood is a connective tissue that has a fluid matrix,
called plasma, and no fibers. Erythrocytes (red blood
cells), the predominant cell type, are involved in the
transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
•

16. MUSCULAR TISSUE
• A body tissue composed of elongated cells
(called muscle fibers) that contract to produce
movement. In vertebrate animals, voluntary movement
is produced by the action of muscles on bone.
Movement of the muscles of the heart and other
organs is involuntary and controlled by the autonomic
nervous system.
• There are three types of muscular tissue-
1) Striated Muscle 2) Smooth Muscle
3) Cardiac Muscle

17. STRIATED MUSCLE
• Muscle tissue in which the contractile fibrils in the
cells are aligned in parallel bundles, so that their
different regions form stripes visible in a microscope.
Muscles of this type are attached to the skeleton by
tendons and are under voluntary control.

18. SMOOTH MUSCLE
• Muscle tissue that contracts without conscious control
, having the form of thin layers or sheets made up of s
pindle-
shaped, unstriated cells with single nuclei and found i
n the walls of the internal organs, such as the stomach
,
intestine, bladder, and blood vessels, excluding the he
art.

19. CARDIAC MUSCLE
• Cardiac muscle (heart muscle) is an involuntary,
striated muscle that is found in the walls and
histological foundation of the heart, specifically the
myocardium. Cardiac muscle is one of three major
types of muscle, the others being skeletal and smooth
muscle.

20. NERVOUS TISSUE
• Nervous tissue is the main component of the two parts
of the nervous system; the brain and spinal cord of
the central nervous system (CNS), and the branching
peripheral nerves of the peripheral nervous system
(PNS), which regulates and controls bodily functions
and activity.
