| cerebral layer of retina | The internal layer of the retina containing the neural elements, as distinguished from the outer leaf of the retina, or pigmented layer. Synonym: pars optica retinae, neural layer of retina, optic part of retina, stratum cerebrale retinae. (05 Mar 2000) |

| membranous layer | The connective tissue membrane that, with the lateral lamina, completes the lateral and inferior walls of the cartilaginous part of the auditory tube. Synonym: lamina membranacea cartilaginis tubae auditivae, membranous layer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membranous layer of superficial fascia | The membranous layer of the subcutaneous tissue in the urogenital region attaching posteriorly to the border of the urogenital diaphragm, at the sides to the ischiopubic rami, and continuing anteriorly onto the abdominal wall. Synonym: fascia perinei superficialis, Colles' fascia, Cruveilhier's fascia, membranous layer of superficial fascia. (05 Mar 2000) |

| perforated layer of sclera | The portion of the sclera through which pass the fibres of the optic nerve. Synonym: cribrous lamina, perforated layer of sclera. (05 Mar 2000) |
| granular layer of a vesicular ovarian follicle | 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) |
| granular layer of cerebellar cortex | The deepest of the three layers of the cortex; it contains large numbers of granule cells, the dendrites of which synapse with incoming mossy fibres in cerebellar glomeruli. Thin, unmyelinated axons of granule cells ascend perpendicularly into the molecular layer in which they bifurcate into fibres coursing parallel to the long axis of the cerebellar folia. Parallel fibres form numerous synapses with the dendrites of Purkinje cells, basket cells, and stellate cells. Synonym: stratum granulosum cerebelli, granular layer of cerebellar cortex.

| granular layer of epidermis | A layer of somewhat flattened cells containing basophilic granules of keratohyalin and lying just above the stratum spinosum and deeply to the stratum corneum. Synonym: stratum granulosum epidermidis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Chievitz' layer | In the developing retina of an embryo, a transitory zone between the inner and outer neuroblastic layer's that is devoid of nuclei. (05 Mar 2000) |

| gray layer of superior colliculus | Term applied to any one of the three major layers of gray matter of the superior colliculus that alternate with layers composed chiefly of nerve fibres: 1) the superficial gray layer of superior colliculus, above the largely white layer of the incoming fibres of the optic tract (optic layer); 2) the middle gray layer of superior colliculus, placed between the optic layer and a more deeply located layer of fibres, the stratum lemnisci; 3) the deep gray layer of superior colliculus, between the stratum lemnisci and the central gray substance surrounding the cerebral aqueduct, and containing the large nerve cells from which most of the colliculus descending connections (tectobulbar, tectopontine, and tectospinal tract) originate. Synonym: stratum griseum colliculi superioris, stratum cinereum colliculi superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| choriocapillary layer | The internal layer of the choroidea of the eye, composed of a very close capillary network. Synonym: lamina choroidocapillaris, choriocapillaris, entochoroidea, lamina choriocapillaris, membrana choriocapillaris, Ruysch's membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chromatography, thin layer | Chromatography on thin layers of adsorbents rather than in columns. The adsorbent can be alumina, silica gel, silicates, charcoals, or cellulose. (12 Dec 1998) |
