| Ebner's reticulum | A network of nucleated cells in the seminiferous tubules. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| trabecular reticulum | The network of fibres (pectinate ligaments) at the iridocorneal angle between the anterior chamber of the eye and the venous sinus of the sclera; it contains spaces between the fibres that are involved in drainage of the aqueous humor, and is composed of two portions: the corneoscleral part, the part attached to the sclera, and the uveal part, the part attached to the iris. Synonym: reticulum trabeculare sclerae, Gerlach's valvula, Hueck's ligament, ligamentum annulare bulbi, pectinate ligaments of iridocorneal angle, pillar of iris, trabecular meshwork, trabecular network, trabecular zone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| trans-Golgi reticulum | That part of the Golgi apparatus that takes newly processed proteins and delivers them to secretory vesicles that will fuse with other biomembranes (e.g., the plasma membrane). (05 Mar 2000) |
| transitional endoplasmic reticulum | <cell biology> Region at the boundary of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi. Transport vesicles are responsible for the transfer of secretory proteins from this part of the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi system. (18 Nov 1997) |
| endoplasmic reticulum | <cell biology> Membrane system that ramifies through the cytoplasm. The membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum are separated by 50-200 nm and the cisternal space thus enclosed constitutes a separate compartment. The Golgi region is composed of flattened sacs of membrane that together with endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes constitute the GERL system. See: smooth endoplasmic reticulum, rough endoplasmic reticulum. (18 Nov 1997) |
| endoplasmic reticulum, rough | A type of endoplasmic reticulum (er) where polyribosomes are present on the cytoplasmic surfaces of the er membranes. This form of er is prominent in cells specialised for protein secretion and its principal function is to segregate proteins destined for export or intracellular utilization. (12 Dec 1998) |
| endoplasmic reticulum, smooth | A type of endoplasmic reticulum lacking associated ribosomes on the membrane surface. It exhibits a wide range of specialised metabolic functions including supplying enzymes for steroid synthesis, detoxification, and glycogen breakdown. In muscle cells, smooth endoplasmic reticulum is called sarcoplasmic reticulum. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Kolliker's reticulum | glial cells |
| uveal part of trabecular reticulum | The posterior part of the trabecular reticulum, located between the scleral spur, the ciliary body, and the anterior surface of the iris. Synonym: pars uvealis reticuli trabecularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reduced enamel epithelium | The several layers of the enamel organ remaining on the enamel surface after formation of enamel is completed. Synonym: reduced enamel epithelium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mottled enamel | Alterations in enamel structure due to excessive fluoride ingestion during tooth formation; varies in appearance from small white opacities to yellow and black spotting. Nanoid enamel, a condition of abnormal thinness of the enamel. Synonym: dwarfed enamel. Whorled enamel, enamel in which the rods assume a spiral or twisting course. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dental enamel | <dentistry> A hard thin translucent layer of calcified substance which envelops and protects the dentin of the crown of the tooth. It is the hardest substance in the body and is almost entirely composed of calcium salts. Under the microscope, it is composed of thin rods (enamel prisms) held together by cementing substance, and surrounded by an enamel sheath. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dental enamel hypoplasia | <dentistry> A form of amelogenesis imperfecta characterised by incomplete formation of the dental enamel and transmitted as an x-linked or autosomal dominant trait. It is also associated with vitamin a, c, or d deficiency, infectious disease, prematurity, birth injury, rh incompatibility, trauma, or local infection. Small grooves, pits, and fissures are seen in mild cases, deep horizontal rows of pits in severe cases, or absence of enamel in extreme cases. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dental enamel permeability | <dentistry> The property of dental enamel to permit passage of light, heat, gases, liquids, metabolites, mineral ions and other substances. It does not include the penetration of the dental enamel by microorganisms. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dental enamel proteins | <dentistry> The proteins that are part of the dental enamel matrix. (12 Dec 1998) |
