Anatomy of Flowering Plants : Collenchyma tissues

                                                                COLLENCHYMA

In previous session we have learnt about the Parenchyma tissues now in this sesssion we come to the another topic of the simple tissues of the plants which is the collenchyma tissues.Basically the collenchyma tissues provide the mechanical support to the plants because of their strength.

Now we have to discuss about the some important topics of the collenchyma tissues.These are:-

1)The site of occurence of collenchyma cell is in below the epidermis in a layer in most of the dicotyledonous plants.

2)As you learn above they found in the layer.The layer is a homogenous layers or in patches.

3)These tissues thickened at corners due to the deposition of the cellulose,hemicellulose and pectin.

4)Now the structure of these cells are oval,spherical,polygonal and often contain chloroplasts.The intercellular space between the cells is absent in these tissues.
