| glomerular nephritis | <nephrology> A variety of nephritis characterised by inflammation of the capillary loops in the glomeruli of the kidney. It occurs in acute, subacute and chronic forms and may be secondary to haemolytic streptococcal infection. Evidence also supports possible immune or autoimmune mechanisms. (18 Nov 1997) |

| glomerular sclerosis | Hyaline deposits or scarring within the renal glomeruli, a degenerative process occurring in association with renal arteriosclerosis or diabetes. Synonym: glomerular sclerosis. Origin: Glomerulus + G. Sklerosis, hardness (05 Mar 2000) |
| efferent glomerular arteriole | The vessel that carries blood from the glomerular capillary network to the capillary bed of the proximal convoluted tubule; collectively, these vessels constitute the renal portal system. Synonym: arteriola glomerularis efferens, vas efferens, efferent vessel. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adamantine membrane | The primary enamel cuticle, consisting of two extremely thin layers (the inner one clear and structureless, the outer one cellular), covering the entire crown of newly erupted teeth and subsequently abraded by mastication; it is evident microscopically as an amorphous material between the attachment epithelium and the tooth. Synonym: cuticula dentis, adamantine membrane, dental cuticle, membrana adamantina, Nasmyth's cuticle, Nasmyth's membrane, skin of teeth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| allantoid membrane | An embryonic diverticulum of the hindgut of reptiles, birds, and mammals; in man its blood vessels give rise to those of the umbilical cord. (12 Dec 1998) |
| alveolocapillary membrane | The pulmonary diffusion barrier. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolodental membrane | <anatomy> Fibrous connective tissue surrounding the root of a tooth that separates it from and attaches it to the alveolar bone. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anal membrane | The dorsal portion of the embryonic cloacal membrane after its division by the urorectal septum. Anterior atlanto-occipital membrane, the fibrous layer that extends from the anterior arch of the atlas to the anterior margin of the foramen magnum. Synonym: membrana atlanto-occipitalis anterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anisotropic membrane | This type of synthetic membrane has an asymmetric pore structure: a thinfilm with tight pores backed by a thicker film with wider pores. Thistype of membrane is used for ultrafiltration andreverse osmosis, the porous side faces the feed stream and the tight-pored side faces the product stream. (09 Oct 1997) |
| anterior recess of tympanic membrane | A slitlike space on the tympanic wall between the anterior malleolar fold and the tympanic membrane. Synonym: recessus membranae tympani anterior, Troltsch's pockets, Troltsch's recesses. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apical plasma membrane | <cell biology> The term used for the cell membrane on the apical (inner or upper) surface of transporting epithelial cells. This region of the cell membrane is separated, in vertebrates, from the baso lateral membrane by a ring of tight junctions that prevents free mixing of membrane proteins from these two domains. (18 Nov 1997) |
| arachnoid membrane | Like a cobweb, covered with or consisting of soft fibres or hairs so entangled as to give a cobwebby appearance. (09 Oct 1997) |
| atlanto-occipital membrane | <anatomy> More specifically see: anterior atlanto-occipital membrane, posterior atlanto-occipital membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bacterial outer membrane proteins | Proteins isolated from the outer membrane of bacteria. (12 Dec 1998) |
| basal membrane of saemicircular duct | The basal membrane underlying the epithelium of the saemicircular duct. Synonym: membrana basalis ductus saemicircularis, basal lamina of saemicircular duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
