Upgraded B002 Ntbi0503 Cross Section Functional Difference — a labelled NEET Biology diagram with a definitions lexicon.
Cross-section showing the functional difference between heartwood and sapwood. Labelled parts: Cross-section, clearly demarcating the central dark zone, Heartwood, from the outer light zone, Sapwood, Cambium. A diagrammatic view of an organ or tissue obtained by cutting it at a right angle to its longitudinal axis. FYI: Transverse sections (T.S.) are standard in plant anatomy to study the arrangement of vascular bundles. clearly demarcating the central dark zone is a labeled feature or concept in this upgraded BioAtlas image: A labeled diagram of a tree trunk cross-section, clearly demarcating the central dark zone (Heartwood) from the outer light zone (Sapwood). Arrows should indicate water flow pri...

Sapwood is a labeled feature or concept in this upgraded BioAtlas image: A labeled diagram of a tree trunk cross-section, clearly demarcating the central dark zone (Heartwood) from the outer light zone (Sapwood). Arrows should indicate water flow pri... A lateral meristem responsible for secondary growth in plants. It is typically composed of vascular cambium (producing xylem and phloem) and cork cambium (producing cork). FYI: The vascular cambium is responsible for the formation of secondary xylem and secondary phloem, leading to the increase in girth (secondary growth).
