Unreferenced date December 2010 Tissue hydration is the process of absorbing and retaining water in Tissuebiology biological tissues . Plants Land plants maintain adequate tissue hydration by means of an outer waterproof layer. In soft or green tissues, this is usually a waxy plant cuticle cuticle over the outer epidermis botany epidermis . In older, wood y tissues, waterproofing chemicals are present in the secondary cell wall that limit or inhibit the flow of water. Vascular plant s also possess an internal vascular system that distributes fluid throughout the plant. Some xerophyte s, such as Cactus cacti and other desert plants, have mucilage in their tissues. This is a sticky substance that holds water within the plant, reducing the rate of dehydration. Some seed s and spore s remain dormant until adequate moisture is present, at which time the seed or spore begins to germinate. Animals Animals maintain adequate tissue hydration by means of 1 an outer skin , Exoskeleton shell , or cuticle 2 a fluid filled coelom cavity and 3 a circulatory system . In humans, a significant drop in tissue hydration can lead to the medical condition of dehydration . This may result from loss of water itself, loss of electrolytes, or a loss of blood plasma.

Image Peripheral nerve, cross section.jpg thumbnail Example of nervous tissue. Nervous tissue is one of four major classes of vertebrate tissuebiologytissue . Nervous tissue is the main component of the nervous system the brain, spinal cord, and nerves which regulates and controls body functions. It is composed of neuron s, which transmit impulses, and the neuroglia cells, which assist propagation of the nerve impulse as well as provide nutrients to the neuron. Nervous tissue is made of nerve cells that come in many varieties, all of which are distinctly characteristic by the axon or long stem like part of the cell that sends action potential signals to the next cell. Functions of the nervous system are sensory input, integration, controls of muscles and glands, homeostasis, and mental activity. All living cells have the ability to react to stimuli. Nervous tissue is specialized to react to stimuli and to conduct impulses to various organs in the body which bring about a response to the stimulus. Nerve tissue as in the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves that branch throughout the body are all made up of specialized nerve cells called neurons . Neurons are easily stimulated and transmit impulses very rapidly. A nerve is made up of many nerve cell fibers neurons bound together by connective tissue.

I linked this article to Toucan today 2009.8.14 , so maybe it s not orphaned any more. If my edit was not reverted. Spongy tissue is a type of tissue found both in plants and animals. In plants, it is part of the Mesophyll mesophyll mesophyll , where it forms a layer next to the palisade cell s in the leaf . It is also the name of a disorder of fruit ripening which can reduce the value of a fruit yield, especially in mango . The spongy mesophyll cells are less likely to go through photosynthesis than those in the palisade mesophyll. The spongy mesophyll s function is to allow for the interchange of gases CO2 that are needed for photosynthesis. In case of alphonso mango variety this problem is common. It s more susceptible to it definition of spongy tissue it is white crocky patch like structure Spongy tissue is also a type of soft tissue animal tissue which contains smooth muscles, fibrous tissues , spaces, veins, and arteries.
