| fibrous articular capsule | 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) |
| fibrous capsule | Any fibrous envelope of a part. The fibrous capsule of an organ. Synonym: stratum fibrosum, tunica fibrosa, capsula fibrosa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibrous capsule of kidney | A fibrous membrane ensheathing the kidney. Synonym: capsula fibrosa renis, tunica fibrosa renis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibrous capsule of liver | A layer of connective tissue ensheathing the hepatic artery, portal vein, and bile ducts as these ramify within the liver. Synonym: capsula fibrosa perivascularis, perivascular fibrous capsule. Connective tissue capsule surrounding the outer surface of the liver, but continuous with septae of some animals which divide parenchyme into lobule, and with the perivascular fibrous capsule at the porta hepatis. Synonym: tunica fibrosa hepatis, Glisson's capsule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibrous capsule of parotid gland | The part of the investing cervical fascia that ensheaths the parotid gland and is fixed above to the zygomatic arch. Synonym: fascia parotidea, fibrous capsule of parotid gland, parotid sheath. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibrous capsule of spleen | The fibrous capsule of the spleen, containing collagen, elastic fibres, and smooth muscle. Synonym: tunica fibrosa splenis, tunica fibrosa lienis, capsula lienis, tunica propria lienis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibrous capsule of thyroid gland | The fibrous sheath of the thyroid gland. Synonym: capsula fibrosa glandulae thyroideae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lens capsule | The capsule enclosing the lens of the eye. Synonym: capsula lentis, crystalline capsule, lenticular capsule, phacocyst. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lens capsule, crystalline | The noncellular outer covering of the crystalline lens, secreted by the embryonic anterior and posterior epithelium. The embryonic posterior epithelium later disappears. (12 Dec 1998) |

| adhesins, bacterial | Cell-surface components or appendages of bacteria that facilitate adhesion (bacterial adhesion) to other cells or to inanimate surfaces. most fimbriae (fimbriae, bacterial) of gram-negative bacteria function as adhesins, but in many cases it is a minor subunit protein at the tip of the fimbriae that is the actual adhesin. In gram-positive bacteria, a protein or polysaccharide surface layer serves as the specific adhesin. (12 Dec 1998) |
