|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 원형질 표면을 덮는 엷은막. 두께는 5~25μm이다. 광학현미경으로는 관찰할 수 없지만 전자현미경으로 관찰이 가능하다. 원형질막의 분자구조는 레시틴이나 콜레스테롤 등의 표면 활성물질 분자가 2분자층으로 그 표면에 배열되며, 이것을 각 1분자층의 단백질 분자가 양쪽에서 샌드위치한 단위막 구조이다. 전자현미경적으로 이 단위는 암-명-암의 3층(각 약 20nm)으로 구별된다. 원형질의 투과성에 중요한 구실을 하며, 생리상태가 변하면 그 투과성도 신속히 변한다. 또, 손상이 되면 쉽게 새로 형성된다. |

| principal optic axis | A line passing through the centre of the lens of a refracting system at right angles to its surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| principal plane | <microscopy> A plane normal to the principal axis of a lens, passing through a principal point. In geometrical construction of ray diagrams through a perfect lens, the single plane that can be considered (disregarding the refraction of the rays at each optical interface) to convert paraxial rays into rays converging onto the rear focal point. For thin symmetrical lenses, there is one principal plane that bisects the lens. For thick or complex lenses, there is a principal plane for the paraxial ray to the left, and another for the paraxial ray to the right, of the lens. (05 Aug 1998) |
| principal point | <microscopy> Mutually conjugate points lying on the lens axis and producing a magnification of one. Object and image distance as well as focal length are calculated (measured) from these points. (05 Aug 1998) |
| principal sensory nucleus of the trigeminus | <anatomy, nerve> The term commonly used to designate the nucleus pontis nervi trigeminalis; located in pons lateral to the motor trigeminal nucleus; receives primary sensory (touch and pressure) input via the trigeminal nerve, projects to ventral posteromedial nucleus of thalamus. Synonym: nucleus sensorius principalis nervi trigemini, nucleus sensorius superior nervi trigemini, principal sensory nucleus of the trigeminus. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: nucleus sensorius principalis nervi trigemini, nucleus sensorius superior nervi trigemini, principal sensory nucleus of the trigeminus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| focus, principal | <physics> The point at which a lens focuses an axial object point. Synonymous with focal point. (05 Aug 1998) |
| membrane protein | <protein> A protein with regions permanently attached to a membrane (peripheral membrane protein) or inserted into a membrane integral membrane protein). Insertion into a membrane implies hydrophobic domains in the protein. All transport proteins are integral membrane proteins. (18 Nov 1997) |
| peripheral membrane protein | <protein> Membrane proteins that are bound to the surface of the membrane and not integrated into the hydrophobic region. Usually soluble and were originally thought to bind to integral proteins by ionic and other weak forces (and could therefore be removed by high ionic strength, for example). However, it is now clear that some peripheral membrane proteins are covalently linked to molecules that are part of the membrane bilayer (see acylated proteins and glypiation) and that there are others that fit the original definition but are perhps more appropriately considered proteins of the cytoskeleton (e.g. Band 4.1 and spectrin) or extracellular matrix (e.g. Fibronectin). (18 Nov 1997) |
| integral membrane protein | <protein> A protein that is firmly anchored in a membrane (unlike a peripheral membrane protein). most is known about the integral proteins of the plasma membrane, where important examples include hormone receptors, ion channels and transport proteins. An integral protein need not cross the entire membrane, those that do are referred to as transmembrane proteins. (18 Nov 1997) |
| erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.1 | See Elliptocytosis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adamantine membrane | 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. Synonym: cuticula dentis, adamantine membrane, dental cuticle, membrana adamantina, Nasmyth's cuticle, Nasmyth's membrane, skin of teeth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| allantoid membrane | An embryonic diverticulum of the hindgut of reptiles, birds, and mammals; in man its blood vessels give rise to those of the umbilical cord. (12 Dec 1998) |
| alveolocapillary membrane | The pulmonary diffusion barrier. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alveolodental membrane | <anatomy> Fibrous connective tissue surrounding the root of a tooth that separates it from and attaches it to the alveolar bone. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anal membrane | The dorsal portion of the embryonic cloacal membrane after its division by the urorectal septum. Anterior atlanto-occipital membrane, the fibrous layer that extends from the anterior arch of the atlas to the anterior margin of the foramen magnum. Synonym: membrana atlanto-occipitalis anterior.
