| corneoscleral part of trabecular reticulum | The anterior part of the trabecular reticulum, located between the sinus venosus sclerae, the scleral spur, and the posterior limiting membrane of the cornea. Synonym: pars corneoscleralis reticuli trabecularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sarcoplasmic reticulum | Endoplasmic reticulum of striated muscle, specialised for the sequestration of calcium ions that are released upon receipt of a signal relayed by the T tubules from the neuromuscular junction. (18 Nov 1997) |
| stellate reticulum | A network of epithelial cells disposed in a fluid-filled compartment in the centre of the enamel organ between the outer and inner enamel epithelium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
| 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) |
| Paneth's granular cells | Cell's, located at the base of intestinal glands of the small intestine, which contain large acidophilic refractile granules and may produce lysozyme. Synonym: Davidoff's cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| granular | 1. Composed of or resembling granules or granulations. 2. Particles with strong affinity for nuclear stains, seen in many bacterial species. (05 Mar 2000) |
| granular cast | A relatively dark, dense urinary cast of coarsely or finely particulate cellular debris and other proteinaceous material, frequently seen in chronic renal disease but also in the recovery phase of acute renal failure. See: waxy cast. (05 Mar 2000) |
| granular cell tumour | Unusual tumour affecting any site of the body, but most often encountered in the head and neck. Considerable debate has surrounded the histogenesis of this neoplasm; however, it is considered to be a myoblastoma of, usually, a benign nature. It affects women more often than men. When it develops beneath the epidermis or mucous membrane, it can lead to proliferation of the squamous cells and mimic squamous cell carcinoma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| granular component of nucleolus | Area of nucleolus that appears granular in the electron microscope and contains 15nm diameter particles that are maturing ribosomes. In contrast to the pale staining and fibrillar areas. (18 Nov 1997) |
| granular conjunctivitis | A chronic infection of the conjunctiva due to Chlamydia trachomatis, characterised by conjunctival follicles and subsequent cicatrization. See: trachoma. Synonym: granular conjunctivitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
