Support and Movement
Irritability
The ability of an living organism to produce response against any stimula are called Irritability it is also called Sensitivity.
Movement
Living organism shown the responses towards stimuli are called Movement.
Support in Plant
Plants require proper strength and support it is necessary to maintain
their shape, increase in size and keep them straight and strong. The
support maintains balance. In plant body support is provided by two
ways.
* Turgidity in soft parts of plants
* Mechanical tissues
Support Through Turgor Pressure
The living cell of epidemics, cortex and pith take in water by osmosis.
Thus an Internal hydrostatic pressure called "Turgor Pressure", which
keeps them rigid and resistant to bending. If they loose turgidity stem
wilts. The turgor pressure is extremely important to maintain the
turgidity in plants.
Support Through Supporting Tissue
In plants there are certain tissue called Mechanical tissues. These tissue provide strength to the plant body.
1. Parenchyma
2. Collenchyma
3. Sclerenchyma
1. Parenchyma
Structure
* Parenchyma is a simple tissue. It is composed of thin walled spherical, oval or elongated cells.
* They are with or without Intercellular spaces.
* They are living cell.
Location
They are found in cortex, pith and epidemics, mesophyll region of leaves.
Functions
Their function is synthesis of food and storage of food. They may serve
as a supporting tissue in soft plant due to internal turgor pressure.
2. Collenchyma
Structure
* Collencym is a simple permanent tissue. It is composed of rounded, oval or polygonal cells.
* They are living cells with protoplasm.
* Intra cellular spaces are absent and these cells thickened at the corners due to deposition of cellulose and protopectin.
Location
These tissues are found in the dicot stem below the epidermis.
Functions
Collenchyma cell provide support to young herbaceous part of the plant. It elongate with the grow stem and leaves.
3. Sclerenchyma
Structure
* Sclerenchyma is a simple permanent tissue. It is composed of long, narrow thick walled cell.
* They have no intracellular spaces.
* They are dead cell without protoplasm.
* A thick materials is deposit along the wall of cell called pectin and lignin.
Location
Sclerenchyma tissues are found in xylem which are vascular tissue.
Functions
They provide strength and Mechanical support to the plant parts.
Types of Sclerenchyma
There are two type of sclerenchyma
1. Fibers
2. Sclerides
1. Fibers
The sclerenchyma elongated cell with tapered ends. They are tough and strong but flexible Fibers.
2. Sclerides
The variable often irregular in shape sclerenchyma are called sclereids.
Simple unbranched sclerids are generally called stone cell.
Secondary Growth
An increase in plant girth due to the activity of cambium ring is called secondary growth.
Secondary Tissue
Tissues which are formed by the activity of cambium ring are called secondary tissue.
Significance of Secondary Tissue
Cambium Ring
The ring of activity dividing cells responsible for lateral growth in plant are called cambium ring.
Secondary growth occurs due to cell division in cambium ring. There are two type
i. Vascular Cambium Ring
The cambium present between xylem and phloem is called Vascular Cambium
Ring. The cell within the vascular bundles are called fusiform initials.
Vascular cambium gives rise to two new tissues.
* Secondary Xylem (Toward the inside)
* Secondary Phloem (Toward the outside)
Growth Rings
The secondary Xylem causes most of the increase in stem thickness. Over
the year a woody stem get thicker and thicker as it vascular cambium
produce layer upon payer of secondary Xylem. These layers are visible as
rings.
Sap Wood and Heart Wood
The outer region of secondary wood is of lighter color and take part in
the conduction of water from root to leaf are called Sap Wood.
The inner region of secondary wood is dark brown in color and do not take part in the conduction of water are called Heart Wood.
In most plant heart wood accumulate a variety of chemical such as
resins, oil, gum and tannins. Which provide a resistant to decay and
insect attack.
ii. Cork Cambium Ring
The cambium ring present in cortex region and increase the diameter of stem are called cork cambium ring.
Cork cambium cell divide and form new cells on both side.
* Cork / Phellem ------> Outerside
* Secondary Cortex ------> Inner Side
Cork / Phellum
Cork is formed on the outer side by the cork cambium. Which is an
insulating layer prevent transpiration. Cork cell are dead and thick
wall.
Secondary Cortex
It is formed on the inner side by cork cambium. It is consist of few layers of parenchymatous cells. They contain chloroplast.
Bark
Epidemics, lenticels and cork collectively called bark which is the outer part of stem.
Callus
Another important function of the cambium is to form callus or wood
tissue on over the wound. The tissue are rapidly formed below the damage
surface of stem and root.
Movement in Plant
Definition
Any action taken by living organs to reduce its irritability produce by stimuli are called Movement.
Type of Movement
There are two type of movement in plant.
1. Autonomic Movement
2. Paratonic Movement
1. Autonomic Movement
Movement which occurs due to internal stimuli factor inherent inside the
plant body itself are called Autonomic or spontaneous movement.
Types of Autonomic Movement
There are three type of autonomic movement.
i. Locomotory Movement
ii. Growth Curvature Movement
iii. Turgor Movement
i. Locomotory Movement
Movement of whole plant body or an organ or material within plant cell
from one place to another due to internal stimuli is called movement of
locomotion.
Example
* The streaming movement of cytoplasm (Cyclosis).
* Movement of chromosome during cell division.
ii. Growth Curvature Movement
Change in the form and shape of plants or plant organs due to the
differences in the ratio of growth of different parts are called growth
and curvature movement.
Types of Growth Curvature
There are two type of growth movement.
* Nutation
* Nastic
Nutation
The growth tip of young stem moves in zigzag manner due to alternate
changes in growth on opposite side of the apex. This type of growth is
called nutation.
Example
Movement of climber around any rope as found in railway crupper.
Nastic
When the process of growth occurs in different manner in the parts of a
plant and slow in other part it is called Nastic Movement.
There are two type of Nastic movement
* Epinastic
* Hyponastic
Epinastic
When faster growth occurs on the upper side of the organ is known as epinastic.
Hyponastic
When faster growth occurs on the lower side of the organ is known as hyponastic.
iii. Turgo Movement
Movement occur due to change in the turgidity and size of cells as a result of loose or gain of water called Turgo Movement.
Example
* Movement of leaves of touch me not.
2. Paratonic Movement
The movement occurs due to external stimuli are called paratonic or Induce Movement.
Type of Paratonic Movement
There are two type of paratonic movement.
i. Nastic Movement
ii. Tropic Movement
i. Nastic Movement
The non directional movement of parts of plant in response to external stimuli are called Nastic Movement.
Usually this movement occur in leaves or petals of flower.
Type of Nastic Movement
There are two of nastic
i. Photonastic
ii. Haptonastic
i. Photonastic
The nastic movement occurs due to light are called photonastic.
Example
The flower open and close due to light intensity.
ii. Haptonastic
The nastic movement occurs due to the touch of any living organism are called Haptonastic.
ii. Tropic Movement
Tropic ------> Tropos mean "to turn"
The movement in response of growth of whole organ toward and away from
stimuli are called tropic movement. It is also known as directional
movement.
Type of Nastic Movement
The main type of tropic movement are as follow
* Phototropism
* Geotropism
* Chemotropism
* Hydrotropism
* Thigmotropism
Phototropism
Photo ------> Light Tropos ------> turn
The movement of part of plant in response to stimulus of light are called phototropism.
Example
* Positive phototropism in stem
* Negative phototropism in root
Geotropism
Geo ------> earth Tropos ------ turn
The movement of part of plant in response to force of gravity are called Geotropism.
Example
Root display positive Geotropism and shoots negative geotropism.
Chemotropism
Chemo ------> Chemical Tropos ------> turn
The movement in response to some chemicals is called Chemotropism.
Example
The hyphase of fungi show chemotropism.
Hydrotropism
Hydro ------> Water Tropism ------> turn
The movement of plant parts in response to stimulus of water is called hydrotropism.
Example
The growth of root toward water is due to positive hydrotropism and shoots negative hydrotropism.
Thigmotropism
Thigmos ------> touch Tropos ------> turn
The movement of plant parts in response to stimulus of touch are called Thigmotropism.
Example
The movement in climber
Skeleton
Definition
The tough hard and rigid framework of the body which gives particular shape and support to animal body are called Skeleton.
Human Skeleton
Endoskeleton present inside the human body. It consist of 206 bones. In man endoskeleton divide into two parts.
1. Axial Skeleton
2. Appendicular
1. Axial Skeleton
The skeleton composed of skull, sternum, ribs and vertebral column are called Axial Skeleton.
i. Skull
The skull is made up of cranium and facial bones.
(Cranium)
The part of the skull consist of eight bones and form a box like structure which protect the brain are called Cranium.
(Facial Bones)
The other bones of skull form face are called facial bones. There are 14
facial bones such as check bones, upper jaws and lower jaws single bone
called dentary.
ii. Ribs Cage
Ribs are semicircular bones attached on their dorsal side with the vertebrae and on their ventral side with sternum.
Rib Cage is composed of 12 pairs of ribs. The lower two pairs of ribs
are called floating ribs because they do not attached with the sternum.
(Function)
The rib cage enclosed the chest cavity and protects heart and lungs.
iii. Sternum
The narrow rod shaped bones present in ventral wall of thorax are called sternum. It is also known as breast bone.
iv. Vertebral Column
A hollow spine in which spinal cord protected extend from skull to pelvis are called V column.
(Bones of Vertebral Column)
The vertebral column consists of 33 bones called vertebrate but due to fusion 26 bones are formed.
2. Appendicular
The skeleton system consist of pectoral girdle and hind limbs and easy to move are called Appendicular skeleton.
Pectoral Girdle and Fore Limb
(Pectoral Girdle)
The girdle present in shoulder region and attach the arm to the trunk are called Pectoral Girdle.
(Parts of Pectoral Girdle)
Pectoral girdle consist of two parts.
1. Scapula ------> board part
2. Clavicle ------> Collar bone which connects scapula with sternum.
For Limb consist of
* Humerus (1)
* Radius (1)
* Ulna (1)
* Carpals (8)
* Meta Carpals (5)
* Phalanges (14)
Arrangement of Bones in Fore Limb

Wrist: The radius and ulna at their distal end from multistage with eight wrist bones called Carpals.
Hand: Five metacarpals from the frame work of palm of the hand.
Digits: Five rows of the phalonges in fingers are attached to the meta carpals. They support the finger.
Pelvic Girdle and Hind Limb
Pelvic Girdle
The girdle present in lower region (hip region) and attached the hind
limbs (legs) to the vertebral column are called Pelvic gridle.
Structure of Pelvic Girdle
Each pelvic girdle consist of large bone called Innominate. It is formed
by the fusion of three bones called Illium, Ischium and Pubis.
Hind Limbs
The hind limbs consist of
* Femur (1)

* Tarsals (8)
* Meta tarsals (5)
* Phalanges (14)
Arrangement of Bones in Fore Limb
Thigh: Femur is the largest bones of the body which forms a ball and socket joint with the Pelvic girdle.
Knee and Calf: At the distal end the femur from knee joint with the proximal end of two parallel bones called tibia and fibula.
Ankle: The distal end of the tibia and fibula form a joint with eight
tarsals, which are also attached with five meta tarsal bones of foot.
Digits: Five rows of the fourteen phalonges of the toes are attached with meta tarsals.
