| rostral layer | A whitish line appearing on perfectly median sections of the brain as a thin bridge connecting the rostrum of the corpus callosum with the lamina terminalis; the rostral lamina contains no commissural fibres; instead, it corresponds to the line along which the pia mater reflects from the medial surface of one hemisphere to that of the other. Synonym: lamina rostralis, rostral layer, teniola corporis callosi. (05 Mar 2000) |

| circular layer of muscular coat | The inner, circular layer of the smooth muscle of the muscular coat. Nomina Anatomica lists circular layers of muscular coats (stratum circulare tunicae muscularis...) of the following: 1) colon (... Coli ); 2) rectum (... Recti ); 3) small intestine (... Intestini tenuis ); 4) stomach (... Gastrici ). Synonym: stratum circulare tunicae muscularis gastricae, stratum circulare tunicae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| circular layer of tympanic membrane | Circular fibres deep to the radiate layer of the membrane that are more abundant near the periphery; not present in the pars flaccida. Synonym: circular layer of tympanic membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle gray layer of superior colliculus | See: gray layer of superior colliculus. Molecular layer, term applied to any layer of brain tissue that contains few nerve-cell bodies and is composed largely of terminal arborizations of dendrites and axons; notable examples are the superficial layer (first layer) of the cerebral cortex and the molecular layer of cerebellum. Synonym: plexiform layer, stratum moleculare. (05 Mar 2000) |

| clear layer of epidermis | A layer of lightly staining corneocytes in the deepest level of the stratum corneum; found primarily in the thick epidermis of the palmar and plantar skin. Synonym: clear layer of epidermis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Waldeyer's zonal layer | A longitudinal bundle of thin, unmyelinated and poorly myelinated fibres capping the apex of the posterior horn of the spinal gray matter, composed of posterior root fibres and short association fibres that interconnect neighboring segments of the posterior horn.
