| basal lamina of choroid | The transparent, nearly structureless inner layer of the choroid in contact with the pigmented layer of the retina. Synonym: basal lamina of choroid, basal layer of choroid, Bruch's membrane, Henle's membrane, lamina vitrea, vitreous lamella, vitreous membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |

| basal lamina of ciliary body | The inner layer of the ciliary body, continuous with the basal layer of the choroid and supporting the pigment epithelium of the ciliary retina. Synonym: lamina basalis corporis ciliaris, basal layer of ciliary body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal lamina of cochlear | A thin layer of tissue covered with mesothelial cells that separates the cochlea from the scala tympani in the ear. (18 Nov 1997) |
| basal lamina of neural tube | The ventral division of the lateral walls of the neural tube in the embryo; it contains neuroblasts giving rise to somatic and visceral motor neurons. Synonym: lamina basalis, basal plate of neural tube, lamina ventralis, ventral plate of neural tube. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal lamina 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) |
| basement lamina | <cell biology> Extracellular matrix characteristically found under epithelial cells. There are two distinct layers: the basal lamina, immediately adjacent to the cells, is a product of the epithelial cells themselves and contains collagen type IV and the reticular lamina is produced by fibroblasts of the underlying connective tissue and contains fibrillar collagen. (15 Nov 1997) |
| basilar lamina | A thin layer of tissue covered with mesothelial cells that separates the cochlea from the scala tympani in the ear. (18 Nov 1997) |
| boundary lamina | A basement membrane-like structure that invests muscle cells, fat cells, and Schwann cells. See: basement membrane, basal lamina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vascular lamina of choroid | <anatomy> The outer portion of the choroid of the eye containing the largest blood vessels. Synonym: lamina vasculosa choroideae, Haller's vascular tissue, uvaeformis, vascular layer of choroid coat of eye, vascular layer. (05 Mar 2000) |

| medial lamina of cartilaginous auditory tube | The broad medial portion of the cartilaginous part of the auditory tube. Synonym: lamina medialis cartilaginis tubae auditivae, lamina cartilaginis medialis tubae auditivae, medial cartilaginous layer, medial layer of cartilaginous auditory tube. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial medullary lamina of corpus striatum | A fibre layer separating the medial and lateral segments of the globus pallidus. Synonym: lamina medullaris medialis corporis striati. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reticular lamina | A major component of the basement membrane, as seen by light microscopy; it consists largely of reticular fibres and ground substances. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membranous lamina of cartilaginous auditory tube | 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) |
| periclaustral lamina | A thin lamina of white substance separating the claustrum from the putamen. It joins the internal capsule at either extremity of the putamen, forming a capsule of white matter external to the lenticular nucleus. Synonym: capsula externa, periclaustral lamina. (05 Mar 2000) |
