Whether the plants with vertically oriented leaves will possess “mesophyll that is divided into spongy and palisade layers”. Concept introduction : Plants leave develops from a structure called leaf primordia (a projection that arises along the shoot apical meristem). Structurally, the leaves are made up of cuticle, epidermis and ground tissue (mesophyll). The mesophyll is present between leaf’s upper and lower epidermal layers. Mesophyll possesses mainly the parenchyma cell. The parenchyma cells play very crucial role in photosynthesis. In some plants (eudicots), mesophyll contains two different layers, palisade and spongy. Palisade layer is present on the upper region of the leaves. On the contrary, the spongy layer is present below the palisade mesophyll. The spongy mesophyll has porous structures to facilitate the circulation of carbon dioxide and oxygen.

A negligence action was brought by a mother against a hospital on behalf of her minor daughter. It alleged that when the mother was 13 years of age, the hospital negligently transfused her with Rh-positive blood. The mother's Rh-negative blood was incompatible with and sensitized by the Rh-positive blood. The mother discovered her condition 8 years later during a routine blood screening ordered by her healthcare provider in the course of prenatal care. The resulting sensitization of the mother's blood allegedly caused damage to the fetus, resulting in physical defects and premature birth. Did a patient relationship with the transfusing hospital exist?
