| anterior elastic layer | A transparent homogeneous acellular layer, 6 to 9 um thick, lying between the basal lamina of the outer layer of stratified epithelium and the substantia propria of the cornea; considered to be a basement membrane. Synonym: lamina limitans anterior corneae, anterior elastic layer, Bowman's membrane, lamina elastica anterior, limiting layers of cornea. (05 Mar 2000) |

| anterior layer of rectus abdominis sheath | The portion of the rectus sheath that lies anterior to the muscle, consisting in its upper two-thirds of contributions from the aponeuroses of the external and internal oblique muscles, and in its lower third (below the arcuralt line) of contributions from the aponeuroses of all three muscles of the anterolateral abdominal wall. Synonym: lamina anterior vaginae musculi recti abdominis. (05 Mar 2000) |
