| visceral layer | The inner layer of an enveloping sac or bursa which lines the outer surface of the enveloped structure, as opposed to the parietal layer which lines the walls of the occupied space or cavity. The visceral layer is usually thin, delicate and not apparent as being separate, but rather appears to be the outer surface of the structure itself. Synonym: lamina visceralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| visceral layer of serous pericardium | The inner part of the serous pericardium applied directly on the heart. Synonym: epicardium, lamina visceralis pericardii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| visceral layer of tunica vaginalis of testis | The inner part of the tunica vaginalis testis applied directly to the testis and epididymis. Synonym: lamina visceralis tunicae vaginalis testis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial cartilaginous layer | The broad medial portion of the cartilaginous part of the auditory tube. Synonym: lamina medialis cartilaginis tubae auditivae, lamina cartilaginis medialis tubae auditivae, medial cartilaginous layer, medial layer of cartilaginous auditory tube. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial layer of cartilaginous auditory tube | The broad medial portion of the cartilaginous part of the auditory tube. Synonym: lamina medialis cartilaginis tubae auditivae, lamina cartilaginis medialis tubae auditivae, medial cartilaginous layer, medial layer of cartilaginous auditory tube. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vitelline layer of egg | <zoology> The membrane, usually of protein fibres, immediately outside the plasmalemma of the ovum and the earlier stages of the developing embryo. Its structure and composition vary in differing animal groups. (18 Nov 1997) |
| reticular layer of corium | The thicker deep layer of the corium consisting of dense irregularly arranged connective tissue. Synonym: reticular layer of corium, stratum reticulare cutis, tunica propria corii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membranous layer | The connective tissue membrane that, with the lateral lamina, completes the lateral and inferior walls of the cartilaginous part of the auditory tube. Synonym: lamina membranacea cartilaginis tubae auditivae, membranous layer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membranous layer of superficial fascia | The membranous layer of the subcutaneous tissue in the urogenital region attaching posteriorly to the border of the urogenital diaphragm, at the sides to the ischiopubic rami, and continuing anteriorly onto the abdominal wall. Synonym: fascia perinei superficialis, Colles' fascia, Cruveilhier's fascia, membranous layer of superficial fascia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| meningeal layer of dura mater | See: dura mater of brain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| perforated layer of sclera | The portion of the sclera through which pass the fibres of the optic nerve. Synonym: cribrous lamina, perforated layer of sclera. (05 Mar 2000) |
| granular layer of a vesicular ovarian follicle | The layer of small cells that forms the wall of an ovarian follicle. Synonym: granular layer of a vesicular ovarian follicle, granulosa, membrana granulosa, stratum granulosum ovarii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| granular layer of cerebellum | The deepest of the three layers of the cortex; it contains large numbers of granule cells, the dendrites of which synapse with incoming mossy fibres in cerebellar glomeruli. Thin, unmyelinated axons of granule cells ascend perpendicularly into the molecular layer in which they bifurcate into fibres coursing parallel to the long axis of the cerebellar folia. Parallel fibres form numerous synapses with the dendrites of Purkinje cells, basket cells, and stellate cells. Synonym: stratum granulosum cerebelli, granular layer of cerebellar cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| granular layer of epidermis | A layer of somewhat flattened cells containing basophilic granules of keratohyalin and lying just above the stratum spinosum and deeply to the stratum corneum. Synonym: stratum granulosum epidermidis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Chievitz' layer | In the developing retina of an embryo, a transitory zone between the inner and outer neuroblastic layer's that is devoid of nuclei. (05 Mar 2000) |
