| ribosome-lamella complex | A cylindrical cytoplasmic inclusion composed of concentrically arranged sheets of membranes alternating with rows of ribosomes; characteristic of the hairy cell in leukaemic reticuloendotheliosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| ground lamella | One of the lamellae of partially resorbed osteons occurring between newer, complete osteons. Synonym: ground lamella, intermediary system, intermediate lamella. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle lamella | First part of the plant cell wall to be formed, laid down in the phragmoplast during cell division as the cell plate. Subsequently makes up the central part of the double cell wall that separates two adjacent cells, cementing together the two primary walls. Rich in pectin and relatively poor in cellulose. (18 Nov 1997) |
| circumferential lamella | A bony lamella that encircles the outer or inner surface of a bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| concentric lamella | One of the concentric tubular layers of bone surrounding the central canal in an osteon. Synonym: haversian lamella. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cornoid lamella | A narrow vertical column of parakeratosis in the epidermal stratum corneum; characteristic of porokeratosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| haversian lamella | One of the concentric tubular layers of bone surrounding the central canal in an osteon. Synonym: haversian lamella. (05 Mar 2000) |
| intermediate lamella | One of the lamellae of partially resorbed osteons occurring between newer, complete osteons. Synonym: ground lamella, intermediary system, intermediate lamella. (05 Mar 2000) |
| interstitial lamella | One of the lamellae of partially resorbed osteons occurring between newer, complete osteons. Synonym: ground lamella, intermediary system, intermediate lamella. (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) |
| enamel lamella | An organic defect in enamel; a thin, leaflike structure that extends from the enamel surface toward the dentinoenamel junction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| triangular lamella | A double fold of pia mater, enclosing subarachnoid trabeculae, between the fornix above and the epithelial roof of the third ventricle and the thalami below; at each lateral margin is a vascular fringe projecting into the choroidal fissure of the lateral ventricle; on its undersurface are several small vascular projections filling the folds of the ependymal roof of the third ventricle. Synonym: tela choroidea ventriculi tertii, tela choroidea superior, triangular lamella, velum interpositum, velum triangulare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lamella | A thin, plate-like layer, middle lamella, the layer between the walls of two adjacent plant cells. (09 Oct 1997) |
| lamella of bone | A concentric, circumferential, or interstitial lamella. (05 Mar 2000) |
| leading lamella | <cell biology> Anterior region of a crawling cell, such as a fibroblast, from which most cytoplasmic granules are excluded. (18 Nov 1997) |
