| vestibular wall of cochlear duct | The membrane separating the cochlear duct from the vestibular canal; it consists of squamous epithelial cells with microvilli toward the ductus, a basement membrane, and a thin layer of connective tissue toward the scala. Synonym: membrana vestibularis, paries vestibularis ductus cochlearis, Reissner's membrane, vestibular wall of cochlear duct. (05 Mar 2000) |

| cell wall | 1. <cell biology> Extracellular material serving a structural role. 2. <plant biology> In plants the primary wall is pectin rich, the secondary wall mostly composed of cellulose. 3. <microbiology> In bacteria, cell wall structure is complex: the walls of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria are distinctly different. Removal of the wall leaves a protoplast or spheroplast. (07 Apr 1998) |
| cell wall skeleton | <chemical> A mucoprotein found in the cell wall of various types of bacteria. It has adjuvant and antitumour activities and has been used to augment the production of lymphokine-activated killer (lak) cells. Pharmacological action: adjuvants, immunologic. (12 Dec 1998) |
