| BMZ | Basement Membrane Zone |
| anterior recess of tympanic membrane | A slitlike space on the tympanic wall between the anterior malleolar fold and the tympanic membrane. Synonym: recessus membranae tympani anterior, Troltsch's pockets, Troltsch's recesses. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| anti-basement membrane antibody | Autoantibodies to renal glomerular basement membrane antigens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anti-basement membrane glomerulonephritis | Glomerulonephritis resulting from anti-basement membrane antibodies, characterised by smooth linear deposits of IgG and C3 along glomerular capillary walls; includes rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and glomerulonephritis in Goodpasture's syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anti-basement membrane nephritis | Glomerulonephritis produced by autologous or heterologous antibodies to the glomerular capillary basement membranes, the latter known as anti-kidney serum nephritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anti-glomerular basement membrane disease | Glomerulonephritis, usually of a generalised proliferative crescent-forming histologic type with a rapidly progressive course, marked by circulating anti-gbm antibodies and linear deposits of immunoglobulin and complement along the glomerular basement membrane. When associated with pulmonary haemorrhage the condition is called goodpasture syndrome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| apical plasma membrane | <cell biology> The term used for the cell membrane on the apical (inner or upper) surface of transporting epithelial cells. This region of the cell membrane is separated, in vertebrates, from the baso lateral membrane by a ring of tight junctions that prevents free mixing of membrane proteins from these two domains. (18 Nov 1997) |
| arachnoid membrane | Like a cobweb, covered with or consisting of soft fibres or hairs so entangled as to give a cobwebby appearance. (09 Oct 1997) |
| atlanto-occipital membrane | <anatomy> More specifically see: anterior atlanto-occipital membrane, posterior atlanto-occipital membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bacterial outer membrane proteins | Proteins isolated from the outer membrane of bacteria. (12 Dec 1998) |
| basal membrane of saemicircular duct | The basal membrane underlying the epithelium of the saemicircular duct. Synonym: membrana basalis ductus saemicircularis, basal lamina of saemicircular duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basement membrane | <cell biology> Extracellular matrix characteristically found under epithelial cells. There are two distinct layers: the basal lamina, immediately adjacent to the cells, is a product of the epithelial cells themselves and contains collagen type IV and the reticular lamina is produced by fibroblasts of the underlying connective tissue and contains fibrillar collagen. (15 Nov 1997) |
| basilar membrane | A thin layer of tissue covered with mesothelial cells that separates the cochlea from the scala tympani in the ear. (18 Nov 1997) |
| basolateral plasma membrane | <cell biology> The plasma membrane of epithelial cells that is adjacent to the basal lamina or the adjoining cells of the sheet. Differs both in protein and phospholipid composition from the apical plasma membrane from which it is isolated by tight junctions (zonula occludentes). (18 Nov 1997) |
| Bichat's membrane | The inner elastic membrane of arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| black membrane | <chemistry> An artificial phospholipid membrane formed by painting a solution of phospholipid in organic solvent over a hole in a hydrophobic support immersed in water. Drainage of the solvent from the film produces diffraction colours until the thickness falls below the wavelength of light it then appears to be black. The structure is an extended bimolecular leaflet. (18 Nov 1997) |
