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.
While some of the cells of the apical meristem divide to generate new meristematic cells, most of the offspring cells differentiate into specialized cell types that stop dividing and function as a part of the organ in which they were generated.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.
