    Vascular bundles are present in vascular tissue system and are distributed in the stele. The stele is the central column of Dicol stems. Each vascular bundle may be made up of both xylem tissue and phloem tissue with a cambium as in dicot stems or without cambium as in Monocot stems or of one kind of tissue xylem or phloem as in roots. Vascular bundle may be regularly arranged in a ring as in the stems of most dicotyledons and in all roots or they may be scattered in the ground tissue as in stems

    Anatomy of Peripheral Nerves Peripheral nerves consist of fascicles that contain myelinated and unmyelinated axons. Endoneurium is the small amount of matrix that is present between individual axons. The perineurium is a sheath of special‚ fiber-like cells that ties the axons of each fascicle together. Epineurium is the connective tissue that surrounds the entire nerve trunk and gives off vascular connective tissue septa that traverse the nerve and separate fascicles from one another. | | Single

    In contrast to mosses (Phylum Bryophyta)‚ the vascular plant sporophyte is dominant over AND is functionally independent of the gametophyte. • Conductive (vascular) tissues are universal AND are present in the sporophyte (not the gametophyte). • Although mosses live in moist environments (at least some of the time)‚ some vascular plants have acquired relative independence of free water. • Some vascular plants survive in harsh conditions (including hot and cool deserts). Ferns belong to the Phylum

Consequently‚ alteration of this finely tuned function may have devastating consequences for the organism. This is particularly obvious in cancers‚ where a disorganized and leaky blood vessel network irrigates solid tumors. In this context‚ vascular permeability drives tumor-induced angiogenesis
