| membrana decidua | The mucous membrane of the pregnant uterus that has already undergone certain changes, under the influence of the ovulation cycle, to fit it for the implantation and nutrition of the ovum; so-called because the membrane is cast off after labour. Synonym: membrana decidua, caduca, decidua, Hunter's membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |

| membrana eboris | The lining membrane of the pulp cavity of a tooth, consisting of the odontoblastic layer. Synonym: ivory membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membrana fibroelastica laryngis | A layer of fibrous and elastic fibres, taking the place of the submucosa in the larynx. It is divided by the laryngeal ventricle into two parts: the quadrangular membrane superiorly and the conus elasticus inferiorly. Synonym: membrana fibroelastica laryngis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membrana fibrosa | The outer fibrous part of the capsule of a synovial joint, which may in places be thickened to form capsular ligaments. Synonym: membrana fibrosa, stratum fibrosum, fibrous membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membrana flaccida | Triangular loose part of tympanic membrane between the malleolar folds. Synonym: pars flaccida membranae tympani, flaccid membrane, membrana flaccida, Rivinus' membrane, Shrapnell's membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membrana fusca | An exceedingly delicate layer of loose, pigmented connective tissue on the inner surface of the sclera, connecting it with the choroid. Synonym: lamina fusca sclerae, brown layer, membrana fusca. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membrana germinativa | In many eggs with a large amount of yolk, cell division (cleavage) is restricted to a superficial layer of the fertilized egg (meroblastic cleavage). This layer is termed the blastoderm. In birds it is a flat disc of cells at one pole of the egg and in insects an outer layer of cells surrounding the yolk mass. (18 Nov 1997) |
| membrana granulosa | The layer of small cells that forms the wall of an ovarian follicle. Synonym: granular layer of a vesicular ovarian follicle, granulosa, membrana granulosa, stratum granulosum ovarii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membrana hyaloidea | A transparent homogeneous acellular layer between the substantia propria and the endothelial layer of the cornea; considered to be a highly developed basement membrane. Synonym: lamina limitans posterior corneae, membrana vitrea, Descemet's membrane, Duddell's membrane, entocornea, hyaloid membrane, lamina elastica posterior, limiting layers of cornea, membrana hyaloidea, posterior elastic layer, tunica vitrea, vitreous membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membrana hyothyroidea | A thin, fibrous, membranous sheet filling the gap between the hyoid bone and the thyroid cartilage. Synonym: membrana thyrohyoidea, membrana hyothyroidea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membrana intercostalis externa | The membrane that replaces the external intercostal muscle anteriorly between costal cartilages. Synonym: membrana intercostalis externa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membrana intercostalis interna | The membrane that replaces the internal intercostal muscle posteriorly, medial to the angles of the ribs. Synonym: membrana intercostalis interna. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membrana interossea antebrachii | The dense membrane that connects the interosseous margins of the radius and ulna, forming the radioulnar syndesmosis, and with the bones separating the flexor and extensor compartments of the forearm. Synonym: membrana interossea antebrachii. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membrana interossea cruris | The dense fibrous layer that connects the interosseous margins of the tibia and fibula, forming the upper portion of the tibiofibular syndesmosis and, with the bones and intermuscular septa, creating anterior and posterior comparments of the leg. Synonym: membrana interossea cruris, ligamentum tibiofibulare medium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membrana limitans | Limiting membrane separating the neural parenchyma from the pia and blood vessels. See: limiting membrane of retina. (05 Mar 2000) |
