| internal membrane | General term for intracellular membrane systems such as endoplasmic reticulum. Not particularly helpful, but has the advantage of being noncommittal. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| interosseous membrane of forearm | The dense membrane that connects the interosseous margins of the radius and ulna, forming the radioulnar syndesmosis, and with the bones separating the flexor and extensor compartments of the forearm. Synonym: membrana interossea antebrachii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interosseous membrane of leg | The dense fibrous layer that connects the interosseous margins of the tibia and fibula, forming the upper portion of the tibiofibular syndesmosis and, with the bones and intermuscular septa, creating anterior and posterior comparments of the leg. Synonym: membrana interossea cruris, ligamentum tibiofibulare medium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ivory membrane | The lining membrane of the pulp cavity of a tooth, consisting of the odontoblastic layer. Synonym: ivory membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| obturator membrane | The thin membrane of strong interlacing fibres filling the obturator foramen. Synonym: membrana obturatoria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| olfactory membrane | That part of the nasal mucosa having olfactory receptor cells and glands of Bowman. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oral membrane | A bilaminar (ectoderm and endoderm) membrane derived from the prochordal plate; after the embryonic head fold has evolved it lies at the caudal limit of the stomodeum. Synonym: oral membrane, oropharyngeal membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oronasal membrane | A thin, transient epithelial sheet separating the primitive nasal cavity from the stomodeum in the seven-week-old human embryo. Synonym: oronasal membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oropharyngeal membrane | A bilaminar (ectoderm and endoderm) membrane derived from the prochordal plate; after the embryonic head fold has evolved it lies at the caudal limit of the stomodeum. Synonym: oral membrane, oropharyngeal membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| otolithic membrane | A gelatinous membrane surmounting the acoustic maculae of the saccule and utricle and containing minute calciferous granules, known as otoconia, otoliths, or statoconia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| outer membrane | The larger of the two membranes of a double membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ovular membrane | The membrane enveloping the yolk; specifically, the thickened cell membrane of large-yolked ova. Synonym: ovular membrane, vitelline membrane. Sometimes used to designate the zona pellucida of a mammalian ovum. Synonym: yolk membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oxygenators, membrane | Devices in which blood and oxygen are separated by a semipermeable membrane, generally of teflon or polypropylene, across which gas exchange occurs. The membrane may be arranged as a series of parallel plates or as a number of hollow fibres; in the latter arrangement, the blood may flow inside the fibres, which are surrounded by gas, or the blood may flow outside the fibres and the gas inside the fibres. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tectorial membrane | A gelatinous membrane, attached to the bony spiral lamina, which overlies the hair cells within the cochlea of the inner ear. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tectorial membrane of cochlear duct | A gelatinous membrane that overlies the spiral organ (Corti) in the inner ear. Synonym: membrana tectoria ductus cochlearis, Corti's membrane, tectorium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membranelle |
a triangular or fan-shaped organelle bordering the left side of the buccal cavity or peristomial area in certain ciliate protozoa, formed by fusion of the bases of short, transverse rows (up to three) of cilia; it serves in locomotion and to gather and push food toward the cytostome. Cf. paroral membrane.
