| descemet's membrane | The strong, resistant, thin, noncellular fourth layer of the cornea, located between the endothelium (from which it is secreted) and the stroma. (12 Dec 1998) |

| diphtheritic membrane | The false membrane forming on the mucous surfaces in diphtheria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| double membrane | <cell biology> Two biomembrane layers, with an intermembranal space, surrounding certain organelles (e.g., mitochondria) or structures. (05 Mar 2000) |
| drum membrane | <anatomy> The eardrum. (13 Nov 1997) |
| Duddell's membrane | A transparent homogeneous acellular layer between the substantia propria and the endothelial layer of the cornea; considered to be a highly developed basement membrane. Synonym: lamina limitans posterior corneae, membrana vitrea, Descemet's membrane, Duddell's membrane, entocornea, hyaloid membrane, lamina elastica posterior, limiting layers of cornea, membrana hyaloidea, posterior elastic layer, tunica vitrea, vitreous membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dysmenorrhoeal membrane | A membrane, resembling the decidua, cast off in cases of membranous dysmenorrhoea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| quadrangular membrane | The elastic fibra membrane that extends from the ventricular fold of the larynx upward to the aryepiglottic fold; it attaches anteriorly to the epiglottis and posteriorly to the lateral margin of the arytenoid and corniculate cartilages. Synonym: membrana quadrangularis, Tourtual's membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inner membrane | The smaller of a double membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| integral membrane protein | <protein> A protein that is firmly anchored in a membrane (unlike a peripheral membrane protein). most is known about the integral proteins of the plasma membrane, where important examples include hormone receptors, ion channels and transport proteins. An integral protein need not cross the entire membrane, those that do are referred to as transmembrane proteins. (18 Nov 1997) |
| internal intercostal membrane | The membrane that replaces the internal intercostal muscle posteriorly, medial to the angles of the ribs. Synonym: membrana intercostalis interna. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal limiting membrane | Formed by the expanded inner ends of Muller's fibres, outer limiting membrane, not a membrane but a row of junctional complexes. Synonym: membrana limitans. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
