| elastic fibres | Fibre's that are 0.2 to 2 um in diameter but may be larger in some ligaments; they branch and anastomose to form networks and fuse to form fenestrated membranes; the fibre's and membranes consist of microfibrils about 10 nm wide and an amorphous substance containing elastin. Synonym: yellow fibres. (05 Mar 2000) |

| elastic lamella | A thin sheet or membrane composed of elastic fibres; distinguished from elastic membrane, which usually refers to a condensed mass of fibres, as in an artery, whereas an elastic lamella may be a looser elastic layer such as found in a vein or the respiratory tract. (05 Mar 2000) |
| elastic layers of arteries | elastic laminae of arteries |
| elastic layers of cornea | See: anterior limiting layer of cornea, posterior limiting layer of cornea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| elastic ligature | A rubber ligature that slowly constricts, in orthodontics, a stretchable threadlike material that may be tied from a tooth to an archwire or from tooth to tooth to gain movement of these units. (05 Mar 2000) |
| elastic limit | The greatest stress to which a material may be subjected and still be capable of returning to its original dimensions when the forces are released. (05 Mar 2000) |
| elastic membrane | A membrane formed of elastic connective tissue, present as fenestrated lamellae in the coats of the arteries and elsewhere. (05 Mar 2000) |
| elastic skin | |
| elastic tissue | A form of connective tissue in which the elastic fibres predominate; it constitutes the ligamenta flava of the vertebrae and the ligamentum nuchae, especially of quadrupeds; it occurs also in the walls of the arteries and of the bronchial tree, and connects the cartilages of the larynx. Synonym: elastica, tela elastica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| elastica | 1. The elastic layer in the wall of an artery. Synonym: elastic tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| elasticin | <protein> Glycoprotein (70 kD) randomly coiled and cross linked to form elastic fibres that are found in connective tissue. Like collagen, the amino acid composition is unusual with 30% of residues being glycine and with a high proline content. Cross linking depends upon formation of desmosine from four lysine side groups. The mechanical properties of elastin are poorer in old animals. (18 Nov 1997) |
| elasticity | 1. The quality of being elastic; the inherent property in bodies by which they recover their former figure or dimensions, after the removal of external pressure or altering force; springiness; tendency to rebound; as, the elasticity of caoutchouc; the elasticity of the air. 2. Power of resistance to, or recovery from, depression or overwork. Coefficient of elasticity, the quotient of a stress (of a given kind), by the strain (of a given kind) which it produces; called also coefficient of resistance. <geometry> Surface of elasticity, the pedal surface of an ellipsoid (see Pedal); a surface used in explaining the phenomena of double refraction and their relation to the elastic force of the luminous ether in crystalline media. Origin: Cf. F. Elasticite. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| elasticoviscous | Alternate form of the commoner term viscoelastic. (18 Nov 1997) |
| elastin | <protein> Glycoprotein (70 kD) randomly coiled and cross linked to form elastic fibres that are found in connective tissue. Like collagen, the amino acid composition is unusual with 30% of residues being glycine and with a high proline content. Cross linking depends upon formation of desmosine from four lysine side groups. The mechanical properties of elastin are poorer in old animals. (18 Nov 1997) |
| elastofibroma | <tumour> A nonencapsulated slow-growing mass of poorly cellular, collagenous, fibrous tissue and elastic tissue; occurs usually in subscapular adipose tissue of old persons. Origin: G. Elastos, beaten, + L. Fibra, -oma tumour (05 Mar 2000) |
