| capacitance | The quantity of electric charge that may be stored upon a body per unit electric potential; expressed in farads, abfarads, or statfarads. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| capacitance flicker | <physiology> Brief closings of an ion channel during ion channel openings, observed during patch clamp (or rapid transition of an ion channel between open and closed states such that the individual channel openings cannot be distinguished properly due to the limited bandwidth of the patch clamp amplifier.) (16 Dec 1997) |
| vascular capacitance | The relationship between the volume of blood contained within a segment of vasculature and the pressure distending the vascular walls over a wide range of pressures and volumes. The veins of the body are not only conduits for the return of blood to the right heart, but they also determine most of the vascular capacitance and contain most of the blood volume. Changes in vascular capacitance provide a quick and effective mechanism for the filling of the right heart, thereby influencing cardiac output. Vascular capacitance is somewhat analogous to vascular resistance but whereas vascular resistance relates to flow through a blood vessel, vascular capacitance relates to the volume contained in it. (12 Dec 1998) |
| membrane capacitance | The electrical capacitance of a membrane. Plasma membranes are excellent insulators and dielectrics: capacitance is the measure of the quantity of charge that must be moved across unit area of the membrane to produce unit change in membrane potential and is measured in Farads. most plasma membranes have a capacitance around 1 microfarad cmexp 2. (18 Nov 1997) |
| glomerulonephritis, membranous | A disease of the glomerulus manifested clinically by proteinuria, and sometimes by other features of the nephrotic syndrome. It is histologically characterised by deposits in the glomerular capillary wall between the epithelial cell and the basement membrane and a thickening of the membrane. Also characteristic are outward projections of the membrane between the epithelial deposits in the form of "spikes". There is some agreement that the deposits are antigen-antibody complexes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| membranous | Having a thin, soft, pliable texture. (09 Oct 1997) |
| membranous ampulla | A nearly spherical enlargement of one end of each of the three saemicircular ducts, anterior, posterior, and lateral, where they connect with the utricle. Each contains a neuroepithelial crista ampullaris. Synonym: ampulla membranacea, membranous ampulla. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membranous cataract | A secondary cataract composed of the remains of the thickened capsule and degenerated lens fibres. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membranous cochlea | Spiral tube in the bony canal of the cochlea, lying on its outer wall between the scala vestibuli and scala tympani. (12 Dec 1998) |
| membranous conjunctivitis | A severe conjunctival inflammation caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae and characterised by an infiltrating membrane which on removal leaves a raw surface. Synonym: membranous conjunctivitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membranous dysmenorrhoea | Dysmenorrhoea accompanied by an exfoliation of the menstrual decidua. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membranous glomerulonephritis | <pathology> A kidney disease that occurs due to inflammation of the kidney glomerulus and its basement membrane. The exact cause is unknown but it appears to be related to the deposition of immune complexes in the basement membrane leading to thickening of the capillary walls. This disorder is a common cause of nephrotic syndrome an is usually how the disease manifests. Risk factors include primary renal disease, malaria, hepatitis B, lupus, syphilis, cancers and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Risks also include exposure to some medications such as gold compounds and penicillamine. Mercury, trimethadione and some skin-lightening creams have also been implicated. Treatment includes systemic corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents. (26 Mar 1998) |
| membranous labyrinth | A complex arrangement of communicating membranous canaliculi and sacs, filled with endolymph and surrounded by perilymph, suspended within the cavity of the bony labyrinth; its chief divisions are the cochlear labyrinth and the vestibular labyrinth. Synonym: labyrinthus membranaceus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membranous lamina of cartilaginous auditory tube | The connective tissue membrane that, with the lateral lamina, completes the lateral and inferior walls of the cartilaginous part of the auditory tube. Synonym: lamina membranacea cartilaginis tubae auditivae, membranous layer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membranous laryngitis | A form in which there is a pseudomembranous exudate on the vocal cords. (05 Mar 2000) |
