J&K class 9th Science Tissues Textbook Questions and Answers

BASIS AND BASICS

◆ Cell is the structural and functional unit of life, while the group of cells coordinating to perform a specific function is called tissue.

◆ Scientific study of tissues is called histology.

◆ Cluster of cells, called a tissue is arranged and designed so as to give highest possible efficiency as tissues have provided division of labour in multicellular organisms.

◆ Due to improved organisation, higher efficiency, multicellular organisms have higher survival value.

PLANT TISSUES

◆ Most of plant cells are dead which provide mechanical strength and need less maintenance.

◆ In plants there are some tissues which continue dividing.

◆ On the basis of power of division of cells, plant tissues are of two types: Meristematic tissues and permanent tissues.

Classification of Plant Tissues

◆ Meristematic tissue has power of division throughout life, so helps in growth plant but in some specific regions.

◆ Simple Permanent tissue has lost the division power and is of three types :

Parenchyma, Collenchyma and Sclerenchyma.

◆ Parenchymal tissue is formed of thin walled, living, oval cells having walls formed of only cellulose. It forms cortex, endodermis, pericycle, pith etc. of different parts of plants. It is loosely packed with intercellular spaces. It is modified to form epidermis covering of all the parts of plant body, chlorenchyma for photosynthesis, aerenchyma for floating in the hydrophytes.

◆ Collenchyma is formed of thick walled (with pectinised cell wall) and living cells and is found in hypodermis of dicot stem. It provides flexibility to plants.

◆ Sclerenchyma is formed of thick walled (with lignified cell wall) and dead cells and forms hypodermis of monocot stem, bark, shells of nuts, etc. It makes the plants hard and stiff. It provides strength to plant parts. It also forms hard covering of seeds and nuts.

◆ Protective tissues include epidermis (single layer of cutinized parenchymal cells covering all the aerial parts of plant body. It prevents evaporation of water) and cork (many layers of suberinised dead cells covering the old stem and roots. It helps in conservation of water and formation of insulation boards). Epidermis protects plants from mechanical injury, and attack by parasitic fungi.

◆ Stomata are microscopic apertures mainly present on the lower surface of leaves and help in exchange of gases during respiration and photosynthesis. Transpiration occurs through stomata.

◆ Compound permanent tissue includes xylem and phloem.

◆ Xylem is formed of 4 types of cells : Tracheids, tracheae (vessels), xylem fibres and xylem parenchyma (only living cells of xylem).

◆ Phloem is also formed of 4 types of cells: Sieve tube cells, companion cells, phloem fibres and phloem parenchyma (only living cells in phloem). Phloem helps in conduction of food within the plant body.

ANIMAL TISSUES

◆ On the basis of their functions, animal tissues are of four types: Epithelial, muscular, connective and nervous tissue.

Animal Tissues

◆ Epithelial tissue is covering and protective tissue and is formed of one or more layers of compactly arranged cells with no intercellular spaces and resting on basement membrane.

◆ Muscular tissue is formed of highly elongated and useful secretions contractile cells called muscle fibres and is with properties of excitability and contractability. It helps in movements of body parts and locomotion.

◆ Muscular tissue is of three types :

(a) Striated or skeletal muscular tissue

(b) Visceral or smooth or unstriated muscular tissue

(c) Cardiac muscular tissue.

(a) Striated muscle fibres. The striated muscles are also known as voluntary, striped or skeletal muscles since their contraction is under the control of the will and the entire muscle fibre shows alternate dark and light bands. The striated muscle fibres are long cylindrical unbranched cells, with a number of nuclei.

Longitudinal myofibrils, embedded in the cytoplasm called sarcoplasm are the contractile elements.

Striated muscles have powerful and rapid contractions which are voluntary. These muscles can get tired and need rest.

Location. Muscles of the limbs, body wall, face, neck, tongue, etc.

Functions. Movements of body and body parts.

(b) Unstriated muscle fibres. These muscle fibres are also called as smooth or visceral muscle fibres as they do not show striations. They consist of long spindle-shaped, unbranched cells. They are uninucleate. Nucleus is oval in shape and lies in the centre. They are smooth as dark and light bands are absent. The muscles are involuntary in their action as they are not under the control of botendit central nervous system. They do not get fatigued.

Location. Unstriated muscle fibres occur as sheets and are found in walls of the alimentary canal and internal organs, ducts of glands, urinogenital ducts and blood vessels.

Function. Unstriated muscles cause slow and prolonged contractions which are involuntary. Movement of food in alimentary canal, blood in blood vessels, urine in ureters.

(c) Cardiac muscle fibres. The wall of heart is formed of cardiac muscles. The fibres are 14 mm in diameter and are of varying length. Each fibre has side branches of neighbouring cells. The cardiac muscle fibre has a barrel-shaped nucleus in the centre of cell. The myofibrils are present which bear dark and light bands. The cardiac muscles are involuntary in action and highly vascular and contract quickly and automatically. They have their own wave of excitation. The two successive cells have a disc called intercalated disc between them which acts as a booster for wave of muscle contraction.

Location. Wall of heart.

Function. Rhythmic contraction and relaxation of heart (Heart beat).

◆ Connective tissue mainly acts as binding tissue and has large amount of matrix.

◆ Connective tissue is of three types: Connective tissue proper, Skeletal connective tissue and vascular connective tissue.

◆ Connective tissue proper. Areolar connective tissue Has soft matrix. White fibrous connective tissue (with large number of bundles of white fibres and forms tendons and protective sheaths); Yellow fibrous connective tissue (with many elastic fibres and forms ligaments); Adipose connective tissue (with large number of fat-storing adipocytes e.g. below the skin of mammals, fat-bodies of frog, etc.)

◆ Skeletal connective tissue has dense and mineralised matrix and forms endoskeleton of vertebrates. It includes cartilages and bones.

◆ Cartilage is formed of oval-shaped widely spaced-solid matrix formed of proteins and sugars chondroblasts present in groups of 2 or 4 in a glycoproteinaceous matrix and is solid and non-vascular.

◆ Bone is hardest tissue and is generally with a marrow cavity at centre having haemopoietic tissue, bone marrow.

◆ Vascular connective tissue has fluidy and fibre-free matrix. It is of two types : Blood and Lymph.

◆ Blood is red vascular connective tissue and flows inside the blood vessels. It is slightly alkaline and purple or bright red coloured. It is formed of plasma and blood corpuscles which are of three types: Erythrocytes or RBCs mainly with haemoglobin. These help in transportation of O₂ and CO₂, Leucocytes or WBCs (rounded or amoeboid and nucleated corpuscles and Blood platelets (cytoplasmic fragments and help in blood clotting at the injury).

◆ Lymph is white vascular connective tissue and flows inside the lymph-vessels. It is formed of plasma and leucocytes so is called filtered blood. It acts as middle man between body cells and blood.

◆ Nervous tissue has the properties of excitability and conductivity of nerve impulses.

◆ Neurons are structural and functional units of nervous tissue. Neurons receive and conduct impulses.

◆ Each neuron is formed of a nucleated cyton and one or more nerve processes which are of 2 types : Axon or efferent and dendron or afferent.

◆ When axon (acts as neuraxis) is surrounded by one or more sheath, then it is called nerve fibre.

◆ Nerve fibres are of two types : Medullated nerve fibres and Non-medullated nerve fibres.

Ans.— Bone. The bone is a hard porous tissue. The matrix is impregnated with phosphates and carbonates of calcium and magnesium which accounts for its hardness. The matrix also contains ossein protein. The matrix is arranged in concentric rings called lamellae.

Bone cells (Osteocytes) lie between the lamellae in fluid-filled spaces called lacunae.

Osteoblasts cells produce bone.

Periosteum is a connective tissue surrounding the bone by which muscles and tendons are attached to the bone.

Functions.

Q. 44. Describe the neuron.

Ans.— Nerve Cells (Neurons). May be unipolar, bipolar or multipolar, with one axon and one or more dendrons. Dendrites carry nerve impulses towards the cell body and axon away from it. Cell body has Nissl’s granules in the cytoplasm. Axons form synapses with the dendrites and cell body or axon of some other neuron.
