|---|---|
| stratum compactum | The superficial layer of decidual tissue in the pregnant uterus, in which the interglandular tissue preponderates. Synonym: compacta. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stratum corneum epidermidis | The outer layer of the epidermis, consisting of several layers of flat keratinised non-nucleated cells. Synonym: corneal layer of epidermis, horny layer of epidermis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stratum corneum unguis | The outer, horny layer of the nail. Synonym: cornified layer of nail, horny layer of nail. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stratum cutaneum membranae tympani | The thin layer of skin on the external surface of the tympanic membrane. Synonym: cutaneous layer of tympanic membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stratum cylindricum | The deepest layer of the epidermis, composed of dividing stem cells and anchoring cells. Synonym: basal cell layer, columnar layer, germinative layer, palisade layer, stratum basale, stratum cylindricum, stratum germinativum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stratum disjunctum | The layer of partly detached cells on the free surface of the stratum corneum, as seen in sections under the microscope; an artifact of fixation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stratum fibrosum | fibrous articular capsule, fibrous capsule |
| stratum functionale | The endometrium except for the stratum basale; formerly believed to be lost during menstruation but now considered to be only partially disrupted. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stratum ganglionare nervi optici | <anatomy, nerve> The inner layer of multipolar neurons in the retina consisting of the relatively large neurons that give rise to the fibres of the optic nerve. Synonym: stratum ganglionare nervi optici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stratum ganglionare retinae | The intermediate layer of neurons in the retina composed largely of bipolar cells. Synonym: internal nuclear layer of retina, stratum ganglionare retinae, stratum nucleare internum retinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stratum gangliosum cerebelli | The layer of Purkinje cells between the molecular and granular layers of the cerebellar cortex. Synonym: stratum neuronorum piriformium, ganglionic layer of cerebellar cortex, layer of piriform neurons, Purkinje's layer, stratum gangliosum cerebelli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stratum germinativum | The deepest layer of the epidermis, composed of dividing stem cells and anchoring cells. Synonym: basal cell layer, columnar layer, germinative layer, palisade layer, stratum basale, stratum cylindricum, stratum germinativum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stratum germinativum unguis | The deeper layer of the nail that is continuous with the stratum germinativum of the surrounding skin and from which the nail plate is continuously formed. Synonym: germinative layer of nail. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stratum granulosum cerebelli | 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.
