| ROM | 1) Range Of Motion; 운동범위 2) Rupture Of amniotic Membrane |
| ABM | adjusted body mass; alveolar basement membrane; autologous bone marrow |

| ruptured membrane | <obstetrics> A term used to define the rupture of the amniotic sac, releasing the amniotic fluid and heralding the onset of labour. (17 Dec 1997) |
|---|---|
| circular layer of tympanic membrane | Circular fibres deep to the radiate layer of the membrane that are more abundant near the periphery; not present in the pars flaccida. Synonym: circular layer of tympanic membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ruysch's membrane | The internal layer of the choroidea of the eye, composed of a very close capillary network. Synonym: lamina choroidocapillaris, choriocapillaris, entochoroidea, lamina choriocapillaris, membrana choriocapillaris, Ruysch's membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| phosphatidylglycerol - membrane-oligosaccharide glycerophosphotransferase | <enzyme> Transfers phosphoglycerol residues from phosphatidylglycerol to membrane-derived oligosaccharides of E coli Registry number: EC 2.7.8.20 Synonym: phosphoglycerol transferase I, phosphoglyceroltransferase, phosphoglycerol transferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| cloacal membrane | A transitory membrane in the caudal area of the ventral wall of the embryo, separating the endodermal from the ectodermal cloaca; it is divided into anal and genitourinary membrane's that break down during the eighth to ninth week to establish the external opening for the alimentary and genitourinary tracts. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mitochondrial membrane | The double biomembrane surrounding the mitochondrion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Wachendorf's membrane | Remnants of the central portion of the anterior layer of the iris stroma (the iridopupillary lamina) which occludes the pupil in foetal life, and normally atrophies about the seventh month of gestation. Persistent strands usually stretch across the pupil from one iris collarette to the other, without touching the pupillary margin. Failure to regress is a rare cause of congenital blindness. Synonym: membrana pupillaris, Wachendorf's membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coated pits, cell-membrane | Specialised regions of the cell membrane composed of pits coated with a bristle covering made of the protein clathrin. These pits are the entry route for macromolecules bound by cell surface receptors. The pits are then internalised into the cytoplasm to form the coated vesicles. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pial-glial membrane | The dual outer lining of the brain and spinal cord, composed of the glial limiting membrane and the pia mater. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pituitary membrane | The mucous membrane lining the nasal cavity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| placental membrane | The semipermeable layer of foetal tissue separating the maternal from the foetal blood in the placenta; composed of: 1) endothelium of the foetal vessels in the chorionic villi, 2) stromata of the villi, 3) cytotrophoblast (negligible after the fifth month of gestation), and 4) syncytial trophoblast covering the villi; the placental membrane acts as a selective membrane regulating passage of substances from the maternal to the foetal blood. Synonym: placental barrier. (05 Mar 2000) |
| complement membrane attack complex | The assembly of complement plasma glycoproteins c5b, c6, c7, c8, and polymeric c9 as a group on biological membranes. The complex forms transmembrane channels which displace lipid molecules and other constituents, thus disrupting the phospholipid bilayer of target cells leading to cell lysis by osmotic leakage. The formation of the membrane attack complex is the terminal step in the complement cascade. (12 Dec 1998) |
| plasma membrane | <cell biology> The external, limiting lipid bilayer membrane of cells. (31 Dec 1997) |
| platelet membrane glycoproteins | Surface glycoproteins on platelets which have a key role in haemostasis and thrombosis such as platelet adhesion and aggregation. Many of these are receptors. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mucous membrane | <pathology> The lubricated inner lining of the mouth, nasal passages, vagina and urethra, any membrane or lining which contains mucous secreting glands. (27 Sep 1997) |
