The veins of a bramble leaf. The veins are the vascular tissue of the leaf and are located in the spongy layer of the mesophyll. The pattern of the veins is called venation. In angiosperms the venation is typically parallel in monocotyledons and forms an interconnecting network in broad-leaved plants.
A primary vein, also known as the midrib, is the main vascular structure running through the center of a leaf. [1] The primary vein is crucial for the leaf’s efficiency in photosynthesis and overall health, as it ensures the proper flow of materials and structural integrity.
Acrodromous – the veins run parallel to the leaf edge and fuse at the leaf tip. Actinodromous – the main veins of a leaf radiate from the tip of the petiole. Brochidodromous – the veins turn away from the leaf edge to join the next higher vein. Campylodromous – secondary veins diverge at the base of the lamina and rejoin at the tip.
A round leaf where the petiole attaches near the center, e.g. a lotus leaf perfoliate: perfoliatus: stem attachment: With the leaf blade surrounding the stem such that the stem appears to pass through the leaf perforate: perforatus: leaf surface features Many holes, or perforations, on leaf surface. Compare with fenestrate. pinnately lobed ...
Livedo reticularis is a common skin finding consisting of a mottled reticulated vascular pattern that appears as a lace-like purplish discoloration of the skin. [1] The discoloration is caused by reduction in blood flow through the arterioles that supply the cutaneous capillaries, resulting in deoxygenated blood showing as blue discoloration ().
Venous leg ulcers in humans is a kind of an ulcer, due to abnormal vein function in the legs. The common causes for the disease include blood clots, injury, inheritance, ageing, lack of physical ...
1. A space between the threads of a net, e.g. that part of a leaf surface defined by each of the elements of a vein network; as with cacti, the area between the veinlets of a leaf. 2. A structure on the stem node of a cactus, morphologically a specialised branch; the region of a cactus upon which spine s, glochid s, and flowers are borne. aril
