Simple Epithelial Tissues
The surface of our body and internal organs is subjected to wear, tear and injury. To protect the inner tissues, the outer lining of the body is covered by a specialized group of cells called epithelium.

Those plants whose seed contains only one cotyledon or embryonic leaf is known as monocotyledon or simply monocot. In this section, you will learn about characteristics and anatomy of monocot stem.

Those plants whose seed contains two cotyledon or embryonic leaf is known as dicotyledon or simply dicot. In this section, you will learn about characteristics and anatomy of dicot stem.

The plants whose seeds have only one cotyledon are called dicots. The structure of dicot root varies greatly from that of the monocots. By understanding the structure of dicot root and monocot root, we can make comparisons between them and distinguish them by studying them under a microscope.

Growth in plants happens in two stages
The division of cells doesn't occur throughout the plant - but only in meristematic regions. Expansion, however, can occur anywhere. Thus, in any plant, there are regions containing young cells, maturing cells and matured cells that have lost the capacity to divide.
Blood caries many chemicals, which have various functions. One group of chemicals is called antigens, which can stimulate the production of antibodies. Based on the presence or absence of blood antigens and antibodies, four groups A, B, AB and O are recognized in human body. Antigens are the proteins on the surface of red blood cells. Blood of one group contains antibodies in the plasma that reacts against the antigen on the cells of other groups.
