| membrana abdominis | <anatomy> The smooth serous membrane which lines the cavity of the abdomen, or the whole body cavity when there is no diaphragm, and, turning back, surrounds the viscera, forming a closed, or nearly closed, sac. Alternative forms: peritonaeum. Origin: L. Peritoneum, peritonaeum, Gr, fr. To stretch all around or over; around + to stretch. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| membrana adamantina | 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.
