| membranous laryngitis | A form in which there is a pseudomembranous exudate on the vocal cords. (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) |
| membranous lipodystrophy | A rare metabolic disease in which bone marrow fat cells are transformed into thick convoluted PAS-staining membranes enclosing weakly osmophilic material; leads to progressive cystic resorption of limb bones and dementia with sudanophilic leukodystrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membranous nephropathy | <pathology> A kidney disease that occurs due to inflammation of the kidney glomerulus and its basement membrane. The exact cause is unknown but it appears to be related to the deposition of immune complexes in the basement membrane leading to thickening of the capillary walls. This disorder is a common cause of nephrotic syndrome an is usually how the disease manifests. Risk factors include primary renal disease, malaria, hepatitis B, lupus, syphilis, cancers and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Risks also include exposure to some medications such as gold compounds and penicillamine. Mercury, trimethadione and some skin-lightening creams have also been implicated. Treatment includes systemic corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents. (26 Mar 1998) |
| membranous neurocranium | The vault of the embryonic skull which is ossified in membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membranous ossification | Intramembranous ossification, development of osseous tissue within mesenchymal tissue without prior cartilage formation, such as occurs in the frontal and parietal bones. Synonym: intramembranous ossification. Metaplastic ossification, the formation of irregular foci of bone (sometimes including bone marrow) in various soft structures, such as the muscles, lungs, brain, and other sites where osseous tissue is abnormal.

| membranous part of interventricular septum | Part of the fibrous skeleton of the heart which is seen as a small, thin, round or oval nonmuscular area at the superior end of the interventricular septum; it lies just below and is continuous with the portion of the fibrous ring of the aortic valve supporting the anterior and posterior cusps, and with the right fibrous trigone; the atrioventricular bundle of conducting tissue courses along its dorsal margin and bifurcates at its inferior margin into the right and left crura. Synonym: pars membranacea septi interventricularis, membranous septum, septum membranaceum ventriculorum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membranous part of male urethra | The portion of the male urethra, about 1 cm in length, extending from the prostate to the beginning of the urethra in the corpus spongiosum just beyond the bulb. Synonym: pars membranacea urethrae masculinae, membranous urethra. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membranous part of nasal septum | The small portion of the nasal septum anterior to the portion supported by the cartilage of the nasal septum. Synonym: pars membranacea septi nasi, membranous septum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membranous pharyngitis | Inflammation accompanied by a fibrinous exudate, forming a nondiphtheritic false membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membranous septum | The small portion of the nasal septum anterior to the portion supported by the cartilage of the nasal septum. Synonym: pars membranacea septi nasi, membranous septum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membranous urethra | The portion of the male urethra, about 1 cm in length, extending from the prostate to the beginning of the urethra in the corpus spongiosum just beyond the bulb. Synonym: pars membranacea urethrae masculinae, membranous urethra. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membranous wall of middle ear | The wall formed mainly by the tympanic membrane. Synonym: paries membranaceus cavi tympani, lateral wall of middle ear, membranous wall of middle ear. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membranous wall of trachea | The part of the tracheal wall posteriorly that is not reinforced by tracheal cartilages. Synonym: paries membranaceus tracheae. (05 Mar 2000) |
