| Course Objectives: |
This study is focusing on the internal structure and function of plant cells, tissue, and organs. This includes the problem of the use of external sources of matter and energy in the processes of metabolism, as well as the growth and development processes and their internal regulation. in addition, training students in the proper use of the compound light microscope and to give them experience in interpreting images that they see through the microscope in terms of how plant structure is related to function. |
| Course Description (Course overview): |
Course covers the anatomy and morphology of thallophyte, bryophytes and tracheophytes with emphasis on the different levels of organization found in each. Comparison of cells, tissues and tissue systems in these groups. Details of anatomy and morphology of gymnosperms and engiosperms in relation to habit and habitat |

| Course Book/Textbook: |
Plant anatomy is a combination between the study of plant morphology and cell biology. Studying plant anatomy allows a student to conceptually integrate organismal structure and function. Further to the previous information, it provides students assistance to reveal the relationships between structure, function, taxonomy, ecology, and developmental genetics. In addition, this course of studying plant anatomy will be useful for the students to have good understanding of the arrangement of tissue and cells types within the dermal, ground, and vascular tissue systems in vascular plants, the characteristics of specialized cells and their components, the relationship between internal structure, physiology, and ecology. |
