| hindbrain vesicle | That part of the brainstem constituting the medulla oblongata (myelencephalon) and pons (metencephalon). (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| secretory vesicle | <cell biology> Membrane bounded vesicle derived from the Golgi apparatus and containing material that is to be released from the cell. The contents may be densely packed, often in an inactive precursor form (zymogen). (18 Nov 1997) |
| seminal vesicle | <anatomy> The paired glands at the base of the bladder that produce seminal fluid and fructose. (09 Oct 1997) |
| synaptic vesicle | <cell biology> Intracellular vesicles found in the presynaptic terminals of chemical synapses, which contain neurotransmitter. During activity the vescles release their contents at the synapse and the neurotransmitter stimulate receptors on other cells. (10 Jan 1998) |
| inside out vesicle | Mechanical disruption of cell membranes gives rise to small closed vesicles surrounded by a bilayer membrane. These may be right side out (ROV) or IOV if the topography is inverted. (18 Nov 1997) |
| ocular vesicle | In the embryo, one of the paired evaginations from the ventrolateral walls of the forebrain from which the sensory and pigment layers of the retina develop. Synonym: vesicula ophthalmica, ocular vesicle, optic vesicle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ophthalmic vesicle | In the embryo, one of the paired evaginations from the ventrolateral walls of the forebrain from which the sensory and pigment layers of the retina develop. Synonym: vesicula ophthalmica, ocular vesicle, optic vesicle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| optic vesicle | In the embryo, one of the paired evaginations from the ventrolateral walls of the forebrain from which the sensory and pigment layers of the retina develop. Synonym: vesicula ophthalmica, ocular vesicle, optic vesicle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| otic vesicle | One of the paired sacs of invaginated ectoderm that develop into the membranous labyrinth of the internal ear. Synonym: acoustic vesicle, otic vesicle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| telencephalic vesicle | Paired diverticula arising from the prosencephalon, from which the forebrain develops. (05 Mar 2000) |
| encephalic vesicle | Each of the three divisions of the early embryonic brain (prosencephalon, mesencephalon, and rhombencephalon). Synonym: encephalic vesicle, primary brain vesicle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transcytotic vesicle | <cell biology> Membrane bounded vesicle that shuttles fluid from one side of the endothelium to the other. There is some controversy as to whether or not they form pores. (17 Mar 1998) |
| endocytic vesicle | The vesicle (membrane-bound bubble within the cell) which is formed during the process of endocytosis and which contains substances being imported from outside of the cell. (09 Oct 1997) |
| endocytotic vesicle | Uptake of material into a cell by the formation of a membrane bound vesicle. (18 Nov 1997) |
| transport vesicle | <cell biology> Vesicles that transfer material from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the receiving face of the Golgi. (18 Nov 1997) |
