The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between Vessels and Tracheid.

Difference # Vessels:

1. A vessel is made of a number of cells.

2. The ends are rounded or transverse.

3. A vessel is several centimetres in length.

4. The septa between adjacent cells get dissolved to produce a vessel.

5. They are comparatively wider.

6. The wall is less thickened.

7. The lumen is wide.

8. They occur in angiosperms and as occasional evolution in other vascular groups.

Difference # Tracheid:

1. A tracheid is formed from a single cell.

2. The ends are generally oblique and tapering.

3. A tracheid is only a fraction of a centimeter in length.

4. The end walls or septa remain intact dissolved to produce a vessel.

5. Tracheids are comparatively narrower.

6. The wall is more thickened.

7. The lumen is comparatively narrower.

8. Tracheids occur in all vascular groups.
