 Let's talk about the different parts of the carpal and the stamen and we'll see how to remember them as well So in a previous video, we spoke about the four major parts of the flower and we also saw what they do We also saw unisexual and bisexual flowers if you need more details on that You can go back and check out our video on flowers unisexual and bisexual Okay, so over here. Let's only focus on the Reproductive parts the carpal and the stamen. So let me get rid of these others All right, so let's start with the stamen. What are the different parts of the stamen that we can identify? So stamen can have two major parts So the part below over here, which is like kind of like a wire. We call that the filament This is the filament and that the part on top of that kind of like the head of the stamen We call that the anther Anthur and guess what? Anthur produces something called the pollen grains. You may have heard of this pollen grains These dotted things that I've drawn over here that you may be able to see they are what pollen grains are Sometimes these pollen grains some flowers have these pollen grains to be very sticky in such cases When you touch them, they will stick to your hand, right? And it's inside these pollen grains where you will find the sperm cells. So the sperm cells of The flower are found Inside the pollen grains All right, let's do the female parts now the female reproductive part the carpal or the pistol They can be further divided into three major parts So the topmost part is called this stigma The part below it's a long structure over here. It's called the style and This structure over here is what we call the Ory It's inside the ovaries. You will find these structures over here, which you can see These seed-like structures. They're not seeds yet, but these seed-like structures. They are called ovules And guess what? It's inside these ovules. You will find the eggshells Alright, so again, let me just write that over here the eggshells The eggshells are found inside these ovules So if you are more than one ovules if a flower has more than one ovules as you can see over here each ovule will have an eggshell and So you can kind of see now how far away the sperm cells are From the eggshells for reproduction to happen They have to fuse and so one of the first steps of reproduction is the transfer of the pollen grains from the anther On to the stigma and from there the sperms will have to find a way to reach the sperm cells Sorry the eggshells, but of course that's gonna happen in the future videos This transfer is what we call the pollination Right and we'll see in the future videos how bees and other insects play an important role in this pollination feature Anyways, these are the important parts of the statement and the carpal now comes the big question How do we remember this? So to remember this I want you to look at this picture Trust me this weird picture will help you okay, so this Middle part is the female reproductive part. Let's see how I how this helps me to remember bottom I have drawn an egg egg reminds me of the ovary. That's like the easiest part for me to remember So the egg is the ovary On top of the egg there is a tile. This is a tile tile rhymes with style So this is how I remember style Again, I knew the word style I just had to remember where does style go and this tile helps me remember and then on top of that What is the symbol? This is the symbol of sigma sigma reminds me of stigma Okay So if I were to confuse a which is stigma. Oh, this is this. This is the stigma sigma stigma Okay, and you can see they're balancing on top of each other and the stigma is about to fall It's going to fall on the car car fall car fell Carpel That's Carpel for me. So the whole thing is Carpel, okay, let's go to the male part. What have I drawn? Why do I have drawn bulbs because I know there's a filament and Filament reminds me of the filament of the bulb and that's how I remember. Ah, this is the filament and And what is it on the top of that filament? I see ants, but not just any ants I see these beautiful female ants and her and her and her So again, I know and her but I didn't the the moment I hear and her if I remember this picture I know how anthors are over here the top part of the male reproductive part And we know what these antlers are saying the the female ants are telling all the male ants stay there men Stay there, man. So stay men and that's pretty much it now We remember both the male reproductive part and the female reproductive part and at first you might be wondering How do I remember this weird picture? Well, the thing is weird things are actually easier to remember Because that's how our memory works our memory our brains tend to hold on to weird Information so take a look at this picture a little bit and then you'll be able to do this All right. So in fact, let me prove it to you now. I want you to pause the video Take a look at this picture and see if you can name all the parts of this flower. Go ahead. Give it a try So could you do it? If you could awesome if you couldn't know what is you can go back and re-watch the video The last thing I want you to do is to be able to memorize this picture, right? So what you can do now is take a look at this picture very nicely again pause the video and then close your eyes and see if you Can visualize this entire picture remember all the things the egg the the ants the sigma the car fell part and everything All right, so once you're done with that you'll be able to answer you'll be able to label all the parts
