| fibroelastic membrane of larynx | A layer of fibrous and elastic fibres, taking the place of the submucosa in the larynx. It is divided by the laryngeal ventricle into two parts: the quadrangular membrane superiorly and the conus elasticus inferiorly. Synonym: membrana fibroelastica laryngis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Fielding's membrane | 1. <cell biology> Layer of reflective tissue just behind the pigmented retinal epithelium of many vertebrate eyes. May consist either of a layer of guanine crystals or a layer of connective tissue. In bovine eyes reflects a blue green iridescent colour. 2. <plant biology> Layer of cells in the sporangium of a vascular plant that nourishes the developing spores. (18 Nov 1997) |
