Gas exchange happens in the spongy mesophyll tissue of the leaf. Spongy mesophyll cells are covered by a thin layer of water and loosely packed. When the plant is photosynthesising during the day, these features allow carbon dioxide to diffuse into the spongy mesophyll cells, and oxygen to diffuse out of it.pongy mesophyll cells are covered by a thin layer of water and loosely packed.

In biometrics and forensic science, minutiae are major features of a fingerprint, using which comparisons of one print with another can be made. Minutiae include: 1  Ridge ending â the abrupt end of a ridge. 2  Ridge bifurcation â a single ridge that divides into two ridges. 3  Short ridge, or independent ridge â a ridge that commences, travels a short distance and then ends.
The piriformis is a long muscle that originates on the anterior surface of the lateral process of the sacrum and gluteal surface of the ilium at the margin of the greater sciatic notch. It inserts on the superior border of the greater trochanter. Like the gemellus muscles, the piriformis rotates the hip laterally.
