| 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) |
| vascular lamina of choroid | <anatomy> The outer portion of the choroid of the eye containing the largest blood vessels. Synonym: lamina vasculosa choroideae, Haller's vascular tissue, uvaeformis, vascular layer of choroid coat of eye, vascular layer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vestibular lip of limbus of spiral lamina | vestibular labium of limbus of spiral lamina |
| medial lamina of cartilaginous auditory tube | The broad medial portion of the cartilaginous part of the auditory tube. Synonym: lamina medialis cartilaginis tubae auditivae, lamina cartilaginis medialis tubae auditivae, medial cartilaginous layer, medial layer of cartilaginous auditory tube. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial medullary lamina of corpus striatum | A fibre layer separating the medial and lateral segments of the globus pallidus. Synonym: lamina medullaris medialis corporis striati. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reticular lamina | A major component of the basement membrane, as seen by light microscopy; it consists largely of reticular fibres and ground substances. (05 Mar 2000) |
| membranous lamina of cartilaginous auditory tube | The connective tissue membrane that, with the lateral lamina, completes the lateral and inferior walls of the cartilaginous part of the auditory tube. Synonym: lamina membranacea cartilaginis tubae auditivae, membranous layer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| periclaustral lamina | A thin lamina of white substance separating the claustrum from the putamen. It joins the internal capsule at either extremity of the putamen, forming a capsule of white matter external to the lenticular nucleus. Synonym: capsula externa, periclaustral lamina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rostral lamina | 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) |
| cribrous lamina | The portion of the sclera through which pass the fibres of the optic nerve. Synonym: cribrous lamina, perforated layer of sclera. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hamulus of spiral lamina | The upper hooklike termination of the bony spiral lamina at the apex of the cochlea. Synonym: hamulus laminae spiralis, hamulus cochleae, hook of spiral lamina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primary dental lamina | dental ledge |
| secondary spiral lamina | A ridge on the outer wall of the first turn of the cochlea opposite the spiral lamina. Synonym: lamina spiralis secundaria, secondary spiral plate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hook of spiral lamina | The upper hooklike termination of the bony spiral lamina at the apex of the cochlea. Synonym: hamulus laminae spiralis, hamulus cochleae, hook of spiral lamina. (05 Mar 2000) |
