Document Summary

Bio 1010 dividing cells are arranged into two cylinders known as the vascular cambium. The vascular cambium is a one cell thick meristem between the primary xylem and primary phloem. Tissues produced by secondary growth are known as secondary tissues. Cambium, forms secondary phloem towards the stems surface and secondary xylem. The vascular cambium makes xylem and phloem by dividing its cells repeatedly. Woody stems get thicker and thicker as they age. Annual growth rings result from the layering of secondary xylem. External to the vascular cambium the tissues do not accumulate over the years, but rather are sloughed off at the same rate they are produced. Secondary growth also adds cork that insulates and waterproofs stems and roots. Cork is made by one or more lateral meristems called cork cambiums, which is formed from parenchyma cells in the cortex. Everything external to the vascular cambium is called.
