| imbrication lines of von Ebner | Incremental line's in the dentin of the tooth that reflect variations in mineralization during dentin formation; the distance between the line's corresponds to the daily rate of dentin formation. Synonym: incremental lines of von Ebner. (05 Mar 2000) |

| von Ebner, Victor | <person> Austrian histologist, 1842-1925. See: Ebner's glands, Ebner's reticulum, imbrication lines of von Ebner, incremental lines of von Ebner. (05 Mar 2000) |
| imbrication | The operative overlapping of layers of tissue in the closure of wounds or the repair of defects. Origin: see imbricate (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ebner's glands | Serous gland's of the tongue opening in the bottom of the trough surrounding the circumvallate papillae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ebner's reticulum | A network of nucleated cells in the seminiferous tubules. (05 Mar 2000) |
| absorption lines | The dark line's in the solar spectrum due to absorption by the solar and the earth's atmosphere; the phenomenon occurs because rays passing from an incandescent body through a colder medium are absorbed by elements in that medium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accretion lines | Line's seen in microscopic sections of the enamel, marking successive layers of added material. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amphotropic packaging cell lines | <cell culture, molecular biology> Clonal entities that express genes or act as viral vectors that infect cell lines to stably infect and then express genes of choice. Usually an amphotropic virus. (04 Nov 1997) |
| Baillarger's lines | Two laminae of white fibres that course parallel to the surface of the cerebral cortex and are visible as outer and inner line's in sections cut perpendicular to the surface; the line of Gennari in the calcarine cortex represents the outer of these lines. Synonym: Baillarger's bands. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Beau's lines | Transverse depressions on the fingernails following severe febrile disease, malnutrition, trauma, myocardial infarction, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| calcification lines of Retzius | Incremental line's of rhythmic deposition of successive layers of enamel matrix during development. Synonym: lines of Retzius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Paton's lines | Concentric lines on the surface of an abnormal retina. Synonym: Paton's lines. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Voigt's lines | A dorso-ventral line of pigmentation occurring symmetrically and bilaterally for about 10 cm along the lateral edge of the biceps muscle, seen in some blacks. Synonym: Voigt's lines. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Mees' lines | Horizontal white bands of the nails seen in chronic arsenical poisoning, and occasionally in leprosy. Synonym: Mees' stripes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| growth arrest lines | Dense lines parallel to the growth plates of long bones on radiographs, representing temporary slowing or cessation of longitudinal growth. Synonym: Harris' lines. (05 Mar 2000) |
