Elements of Xylem - Tracheids and Vessels -

Vessels:

  • These arise from procambium during the primary growth and from vascular cambium during secondary growth.
  • The pattern of secondary wall deposition is determined by the microfibrils.
  • Vessels are made up of vessel elements placed one over the other.
  • Vessel elements have perforated end walls. 
  • Hence, vessels are multicellular pipe-like structures.
  • They have comparatively a wider lumen than tracheids.
  • At maturity, they are devoid of protoplasm and are dead.
  • In pteridophytes and gymnosperms, the vessels are absent. Their wood is called the non-porous wood.
  • In angiosperms, the vessels are present. Their wood is called porous wood.
