| posterior basal segment | Posterior basal segment of inferior lobe of right and left lungs; lies adjacent to vertebral column below superior segment. Synonym: segmentum basale posterius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neoplasms, basal cell | Neoplasms composed of cells from the deepest layer of the epidermis. The concept does not refer to neoplasms located in the stratum basale. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome | <syndrome> An inherited group of defects which involve abnormalities of the skin, eyes, nervous system, endocrine, glands and bones. The condition is characterised by an unusual facial appearance and a predisposition for skin cancer. (27 Sep 1997) |
| superior basal vein | <anatomy, vein> Tributary to the common basal vein draining the lateral and anterior part of the inferior lobe of each lung. Synonym: vena basalis superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| denture basal surface | That portion of the surface of a denture which has its contour determined by the impression and bears the greater part of the occlusal load. Synonym: denture basal surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior basal vein | <anatomy, vein> Tributary to the common basal vein draining the medial and posterior part of the inferior lobe in each lung. Synonym: vena basalis inferior. (05 Mar 2000) |

| alar lamina of neural tube | The dorsal division of the lateral walls of the neural tube in the embryo; it gives rise to neurons relaying afferent impulses to higher centres; in the adult such neurons compose the sensory nuclei of the spinal cord and brainstem. Synonym: lamina alaris, alar plate of neural tube, dorsolateral plate of neural tube, lamina dorsalis, wing plate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basement lamina | <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 lamina | A thin layer of tissue covered with mesothelial cells that separates the cochlea from the scala tympani in the ear. (18 Nov 1997) |
| boundary lamina | A basement membrane-like structure that invests muscle cells, fat cells, and Schwann cells. See: basement membrane, basal lamina. (05 Mar 2000) |
