| capsula glomeruli | The expanded beginning of a nephron composed of an inner and outer layer: the visceral layer consists of podocytes which surround a tuft of capillaries (glomerulus); the parietal layer is simple squamous epithelium which becomes cuboidal at the tubular pole. Synonym: capsula glomeruli, Bowman's capsule, malpighian capsule, Muller's capsule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capsula interna | <anatomy, neurology> A massive layer (8 to 10 mm thick) of white matter separating the caudate nucleus and thalamus (medial) from the more laterally situated lentiform nucleus (globus pallidus and putamen). It consists of 1) fibres ascending from the thalamus to the cerebral cortex that compose, among others, the visual, auditory, and somatic sensory radiations, and 2) fibres descending from the cerebral cortex to the thalamus, subthalamic region, midbrain, hindbrain, and spinal cord. The internal capsule is the major route by which the cerebral cortex is connected with the brainstem and spinal cord. Laterally and superiorly it is continuous with the corona radiata which forms a major part of the cerebral hemisphere's white matter; caudally and medially it continues, much reduced in size, as the crus cerebri which contains, among others, the pyramidal tract. On horizontal section it appears in the form of a V opening out laterally; the V's obtuse angle is called genu (knee). Its anterior and posterior limbs, respectively, the crus anterior and crus posterior. Synonym: capsula interna. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capsula lentis | The capsule enclosing the lens of the eye. Synonym: capsula lentis, crystalline capsule, lenticular capsule, phacocyst. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capsula lienis | The fibrous capsule of the spleen, containing collagen, elastic fibres, and smooth muscle. Synonym: tunica fibrosa splenis, tunica fibrosa lienis, capsula lienis, tunica propria lienis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capsula vasculosa lentis | In the embryo, the vascular mesenchymal capsule that invests the lens of the eye; the vessels of the dorsal part of the capsule are branches of the hyaloid artery; those of the ventral part are derived from the anterior ciliary arteries; normally all the vessels are atrophied by the end of the eighth month of intrauterine life.

| capsular | Relating to any capsule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capsular advancement | The surgical reattachment of the anterior portion of Tenon's capsule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capsular antigen | That found only in the capsules of certain microorganisms; e.g., the specific polysaccharides of various types of pneumococci. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capsular branches of renal artery | <anatomy, artery> Branches arising from the renal artery outside of the kidney that are distributed to the renal capsule. Synonym: rami capsulares arteriae renalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capsular cataract | A cataract in which the opacity affects the capsule only. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capsular cirrhosis of liver | Chronic perihepatitis with thickening and subsequent contraction, resulting in atrophy and deformity of the liver. Synonym: capsular cirrhosis of liver. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capsular flap pyeloplasty | A reconstructive procedure for correction of uteropelvic obstruction, whereby a flap of renal capsule is swung down from the renal hilus to enlarge an obstructed intrarenal pelvis and upper ureter; used to correct situations involving loss of renal pelvic tissue which preclude the use of renal pelvis for the reconstruction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capsular glaucoma | Glaucoma occurring in association with widespread deposition of cellular organelles on the lens capsule, ocular blood vessels, iris, and ciliary body. See: pseudoexfoliation of lens capsule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| capsular ligament | <anatomy> Thickened portions of the fibrous membrane of an articular capsule. Synonym: ligamentum capsulare. (05 Mar 2000) |
