Gas exchange happens in the spongy mesophyll tissue of the leaf. Spongy mesophyll cells are covered by a thin layer of water and loosely packed. When the plant is photosynthesising during the day, these features allow carbon dioxide to diffuse into the spongy mesophyll cells, and oxygen to diffuse out of it.pongy mesophyll cells are covered by a thin layer of water and loosely packed.

In biometrics and forensic science, minutiae are major features of a fingerprint, using which comparisons of one print with another can be made. Minutiae include: 1  Ridge ending â the abrupt end of a ridge. 2  Ridge bifurcation â a single ridge that divides into two ridges. 3  Short ridge, or independent ridge â a ridge that commences, travels a short distance and then ends.
In anatomy, ârugaeâ is a term which refers to the ridges formed by tissue which is naturally folded. Rugae can be found in a number of anatomical structures in the body. The arrangement of the folds can vary from person to person, causing the ridges to look different in different people.
