7. mesophyll
   Tissue between the upper and lower epidermis of a leaf blade (lamina), consisting of parenchyma-like cells containing numerous chloroplasts. In many plants, mesophyll is divided into two distinct layers. The palisade mesophyll is usually just below the upper epidermis and is composed of regular layers of elongated cells. Lying below them is the...
