| brown layer | An exceedingly delicate layer of loose, pigmented connective tissue on the inner surface of the sclera, connecting it with the choroid. Synonym: lamina fusca sclerae, brown layer, membrana fusca. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| cambium layer | The inner osteogenic layer of the periosteum, a highly cellular zone immediately beneath the epithelium covering a botryoid sarcoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiate layer of tympanic membrane | The connective tissue layer of the tympanic membrane beneath the stratum cutaneum, the fibres of which radiate from the manubrium of the malleus to the peripheral fibrocartilaginous ring of the membrane; absent from the pars flaccida. Synonym: radiate layer of tympanic membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palisade layer | The deepest layer of the epidermis, composed of dividing stem cells and anchoring cells. Synonym: basal cell layer, columnar layer, germinative layer, palisade layer, stratum basale, stratum cylindricum, stratum germinativum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglionic layer of optic nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The inner layer of multipolar neurons in the retina consisting of the relatively large neurons that give rise to the fibres of the optic nerve. Synonym: stratum ganglionare nervi optici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ganglionic layer of retina | The intermediate layer of neurons in the retina composed largely of bipolar cells. Synonym: internal nuclear layer of retina, stratum ganglionare retinae, stratum nucleare internum retinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vascular layer | <anatomy> The outer portion of the choroid of the eye containing the largest blood vessels. Synonym: lamina vasculosa choroideae, Haller's vascular tissue, uvaeformis, vascular layer of choroid coat of eye, vascular layer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vascular layer of choroid coat of eye | <anatomy> The outer portion of the choroid of the eye containing the largest blood vessels. Synonym: lamina vasculosa choroideae, Haller's vascular tissue, uvaeformis, vascular layer of choroid coat of eye, vascular layer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malpighian layer | The living layer of the epidermis comprising the stratum basale, stratum spinosum, and stratum granulosum. Synonym: malpighian layer, malpighian rete. (05 Mar 2000) |
| papillary layer | The more superficial layer of the corium whose papillae interdigitate with the epidermis. Synonym: corpus papillare, papillary layer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Rauber's layer | The thinned-out trophoblastic membrane over the embryonic disk in developing carnivores and ungulates, outermost cell layer which helps form the blastodisk; called blastodermic or primitive ectoderm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mantle layer | The nuclear zone of the developing neural tube between the marginal layer and the ependymal layer; forms the gray matter of the central nervous system. Synonym: intermediate layer, mantle zone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventricular layer | An inner epithelial layer of cells bordering the lumen of the embryonic neural tube and brain, formed during the latter's stratification, and persisting in modified form throughout life. Synonym: ependymal zone, ventricular layer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| marginal layer | The outer, nonnuclear layer of the embryonic neural tube; into its fibrous network grow the longitudinal nerve fibres which eventually become the white matter of the cord and brain stem. Synonym: marginal zone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| germinative layer | The deepest layer of the epidermis, composed of dividing stem cells and anchoring cells. Synonym: basal cell layer, columnar layer, germinative layer, palisade layer, stratum basale, stratum cylindricum, stratum germinativum. (05 Mar 2000) |
