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.
Fig. 1. The shoot apical meristem (SAM) is a cell supply system for the aerial part of the plant. (a) The modular growth of the shoot is illustrated in this three-dimensional model of a growing stem with leaves. The plant body generates from the iterative initiation of units called âphytomersâ composed of a leaf (or leaves) attached at a node, a
