Document Summary

Wood is a complex tissue that has a variety of uses made possible by its structure. Secondary tissue to the plant because it is initiated later in development after the primary tissues are established. Bark, a structure we often lump together with wood, is also initiated later in development. However, bark is produced through a different mechanism than wood, has unique characteristics and properties, and is considered a separate tissue. In this section of the unit we will investigate the structure of wood and bark, and the ways in which wood is typically processed for use as a structural product. Wood is the common term used in reference to the secondary xylem produced and accumulated by many angiosperms (flowering plants) and gymnosperms ( naked seeded plants). Secondary xylem, as well as secondary phloem, is produced by the vascular cambium. As you remember, all new growth in plants come from meristematic tissues.

How is the structure of tracheids different from the structure of vessel members?

How is the structure of both tracheids and vessel members related to their ability to serve as efficient water-conduction cells?
