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 meristem also forms a protective root cap. The cells to the upper left of this image are embryonic protoderm, ground meristem, and procambium. Apical meristems are sites of intense mitotic cell divisions. The new cells produced fuel the growth and development of new tissues. second ring of meristematic tissue forms just below the epidermis in woody plants to produce bark. This is the cork cambium. The cork cambium and vascular cambium contribute to subsequent or secondary growth typically found only in woody plants. Now, roll over the apical meristem on the diagram..
