| posterior wall of stomach | That part of the gastric wall that faces the omental bursa. Synonym: paries posterior gastris. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| posterior wall of tympanic cavity | It contains the opening into the mastoid antrum. Synonym: paries mastoideus cavi tympani, mastoid wall of middle ear, posterior wall of middle ear. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior wall of vagina | It is longer than the anterior wall and has a low ridge in the midline throughout most of its length. Synonym: paries posterior vaginae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primary cell wall | <plant biology> A plant cell wall that is still able to expand, permitting cell growth. Growth is normally prevented when a secondary wall has formed. Primary cell walls contain more pectin than secondary walls and no lignin is present until a secondary wall has formed on top of them. (06 Mar 1998) |
| helicoidal cell wall | Type of plant cell wall in which each wall layer contains parallel microfibrils, but in which the orientation of the microfibrils changes by a fixed angle from one layer to the next. Gives a characteristic herringbone pattern in transmission electron microscopy. A similar architecture of fibrillar material is seen in some insect exoskeletons. (18 Nov 1997) |
| hollow wall | A condition of the hoof wall in the toe region of horses, characterised by loss of substance and change in character of the horn, most often as a sequela of mild chronic laminitis. Synonym: dystrophia ungulae, hollow wall. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulpal wall | One of the wall's of the pulp cavity, the wall of a cavity preparation adjacent to the pulp space; e.g., mesial pulpal wall. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hyaline degeneration of the elastic tissue of the arterial wall | Seen during involution of the uterus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| splanchnic wall | The wall of one of the viscera or the splanchnopleure from which it is formed. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sporulation-specific cell wall hydrolase | <enzyme> From bacillus subtilis; 255-amino acid protein mw 27.146 kD; hydrolyzes both vegetative cell walls and spore peptidoglycan genbank d14666 Registry number: EC 3.- Synonym: cwlc gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| superior wall of orbit | Formed by the orbital plate of the frontal bone and the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone, the optic canal opens at its posterior limit; an indentation, the fossa for the lacrimal gland, is located in the anterolateral part of the roof. Synonym: paries superior orbitae, superior wall of orbit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diffuse gallbladder wall thickening | <radiology> Criterion: gall bladder wall greater than 3 mm may appear thicker due to surrounding ascites, cholecystitis (acute or chronic), non-fasting state, chronic hypoalbuminaemia, hepatitis, congestive heart failure, fat in gall bladder fossa Cf: focal thickening (12 Dec 1998) |
| inferior wall of orbit | The floor of the orbit; the shortest of the four walls of the orbit, sloping upward from the orbital margin; it is comprised of the maxilla and orbital process of the palatine bone. Synonym: paries inferior orbitae, inferior wall of orbit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior wall of tympanic cavity | The floor of the tympanic cavity; a thin plate of bone separating the tympanic cavity from the jugular fossa. Synonym: paries jugularis cavi tympani, fundus tympani, inferior wall of tympanic cavity, jugular wall of middle ear. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tegmental wall of middle ear | The superior wall, or roof, of the tympanic cavity, formed by the tegmen tympani of the temporal bone. Synonym: paries tegmentalis cavi tympani, tegmental wall of middle ear. (05 Mar 2000) |
