THIN - ZOOLOGY

1. Thyroid Gland -Both the lobes are interconnected with a thin flap of connective tissue called isthmus
2. a very thin middle layer called arachnoid
3. Actin filaments are thinner
4. Myosin in the ‘A’ band are held together in middle of this band by a thin fibrous membrane called ‘M’ line.
5. Each rib is a thin flat bone
6. thin segment of the ascending limb of Henle’s loop
7. A thin, muscular wall called the interatrial septum separates the right and the left atria,
8. The tunica media is comparatively thin in the veins
9. The thin-walled urinary bladder is present ventral to the rectum which also opens in the cloaca in frogs.

THICK - ZOOLOGY

1. myosin filaments are commonly called thick filaments

2. thick-walled, the interventricular septum,
3. The walls of ventricles are much thicker than that of the atria.
4. However, its total thickness is much less than a millimetre. All factors in our body are favourable for
diffusion of O2 from alveoli to tissues

THIN - BOTANY

1. The cell walls are primary in nature, thin and cellulosic with abundant plasmodesmatal connections in the
region of meristematic growth
2. Ethylene - thinning of cotton
3. In stems, the ‘living’ cells are organised in thin layers inside and beneath the bark.
4. Schwann (1839), a British Zoologist, studied different types of animal cells and reported that cells had a thin
outer layer which is today known as the ‘plasma membrane’.
5. Bacterial cells iIf motile, they have thin filamentous extensions from their cell wall called flagella.
6. In leaves, the ground tissue consists of thin-walled chloroplast containing cells and is called mesophyll.
7. The outer walls of guard cells (away from the stomatal pore) are thin and the inner walls (towards the
stomatal pore) are highly thickened
8. The cortex consists of several layers of thin-walled parenchyma cells
9. Covered with a thin layer of cuticle, it may bear trichomes and a few stomata
10. Cortical layers below hypodermis consist of rounded thin walled parenchymatous cells with conspicuous
intercellular spaces
11. Region of meristematic activity cells of this region are very small, thin-walled and with dense protoplasm
12. Long thin flexible petioles allow leaf blades to flutter in wind, cooling leaf, bringing fresh air to leaf surface.
13. In mango the pericarp is well differentiated into an outer thin epicarp, a middle fleshy edible mesocarp and
an inner stony hard endocarp.
14. In diatoms the cell walls form two thin overlapping shells

THICK - BOTANY

1. Phase of maturation attain their maximal size in terms of wall thickening and protoplasmic modifications
2. Kranz anatomy - thick walls impervious to gaseous exchange and no intercellular spaces
3. We obtain a thick slurry.On straining this through a cheesecloth or cotton we would obtain two fractions.
4. Glycocalyx differs in composition and thickness among different bacteria.
5. The outside of the epidermis is often covered with a waxy thick layer - cuticle which prevents loss of water
6. Next to endodermis lies a few layers of thick-walled parenchymatous cells - pericycle in dicot roots
7. The veins vary in thickness in the reticulate venation of the dicot leaves
8. The vascular bundles are surrounded by a layer of thick walled bundle sheath cells in dicot leaves
9. When pericarp is thick and fleshy, it is differentiated into outer epicarp, middle mesocarp, inner endocarp
10. Their thick cuticle and sunken stomata also help to reduce water loss in gymnosperms
