Xylem Tracheid Cells

Tracheid cells are narrow andoverlapping and have thin circular

areas in their walls called pits.

Pinus(pine) sp, stem, stained

longitudinal section of wood.Tracheids overlap at their end

walls and have large, bordered

pits. They are the only water-

conducting cell type in the xylem

of most nonflowering plants.

Xylem Vessels Elements

Vessel elements (cells) are

broad and arranged end toend. They have pits ontheir side walls but alsohave large wall-free(perforated) end walls.
