1 Tuberculous pleuritis may occur in some people who have the lung disease from tuberculosis.  The pleural disease occurs from the rupture of a diseased area into the pleural space, the space between the lung and the lining of the chest and abdominal cavities.
The root apical meristem is a region of growth tissue near the tip of each root. The meristematic cells in this region grow in two directions, both backward toward the above-ground shoot and forward toward the tip of the root.
The secret to these abilities lies within a tissue type called meristem. Meristematic cells are fully developed and functional at maturity, but unlike other cells in the plant, they remain totipotent. This means that when induced, they can develop into any specific plant tissue at any point during the life of the plant.ell division and cell elongation in the apical meristem is called primary growth and results in an increase in plant height and root length. Increasing root length enables the plant to tap into the water and mineral resources of a new region or layer of soil.
