| endothelium, corneal | Single layer of large flattened cells covering the surface of the cornea. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| endothelium | <pathology> The layer of epithelial cells that lines the cavities of the heart and of the blood and lymph vessels and the serous cavities of the body, originating from the mesoderm. Origin: Gr. Thel = nipple (18 Nov 1997) |
| endothelium camerae anterioris | A single layer of large, squamous cells that covers the posterior surface of the cornea. Synonym: endothelium camerae anterioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endothelium-derived growth factor synthase | <enzyme> Converts l-arginine to a smooth muscle relaxing factor and stimulates the formation of cyclic-GMP Registry number: EC 1.5.1.- Synonym: edrf synthase (26 Jun 1999) |
| endothelium derived relaxation factor | <biochemistry> This compound is produced from L arginine by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase. Acts as a potent vasorelaxant via elevation of intracellular cGMP in vascular smooth muscle. Synthesis of nitric oxide is not confined to endothelium, isoforms of nitric oxide synthase are also found in brain, neutrophils and platelets. Synonym: endothelium derived relaxation factor. Acronym: NO (29 Dec 1997) |
| endothelium-derived relaxing factor | A labile humoral agent released by the vascular endothelium that mediates the relaxation induced by some vasodilators such as acetylcholine and bradykinin. Edrf also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. These actions are believed to be mediated through stimulation of guanylate cyclase and the consequent elevation of cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate. Edrf is thought to be nitric oxide or a ready source of it. The factor is believed to be unstable and acts only locally in vivo. (12 Dec 1998) |
| endothelium, lymphatic | Unbroken cellular lining (intima) of the lymph vessels (e.g., the high endothelial lymphatic venules). It is more permeable than vascular endothelium, lacking selective absorption and functioning mainly to remove plasma proteins that have filtered through the capillaries into the tissue spaces. (12 Dec 1998) |
| endothelium of anterior chamber | A single layer of large, squamous cells that covers the posterior surface of the cornea. Synonym: endothelium camerae anterioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endothelium, vascular | Single pavement layer of cells which line the luminal surface of the entire vascular system and regulate the transport of macromolecules and blood components from interstitium to lumen; this function has been most intensively studied in the blood capillaries. (12 Dec 1998) |
| marginal corneal degeneration | Bilateral opacification and vascularization of the periphery of the cornea, progressing to formation of a gutter and ectasia. Synonym: ectatic marginal degeneration of cornea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| recurrent corneal erosion | Repeated vesiculation followed by exfoliation of the corneal epithelium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Groenouw's corneal dystrophy | A granular type of corneal dystrophy, with autosomal dominant inheritance, a macular type of corneal dystrophy, with autosomal recessive inheritance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ring-like corneal dystrophy | Thread-like opacities of the anterior corneal stroma, with acute, painful onset followed by decreased vision; autosomal dominant inheritance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corneal | The cornea is an outwardly convex transparent membrane forming part of the anterior (front) portion of the eye. It is situated directly in front of the pupil an merges back to the sclera (white of the eye) and the outer margin of the iris. (27 Sep 1997) |
| corneal astigmatism | Astigmatism due to a defect in the curvature of the corneal surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corneal endothelium |
The layer of cells on the innermost surface of the cornea, in contact with the aqueous fluid, which provides pumping action dehydrating the cornea.

|---|---|
| corneal endothelium |
a simple squamous or low cuboidal epithelium, an inner lining acting as a barrier to prevent water inside the eyeball from moving into and hydrating the cornea, which would lead to blurred vision. (The term endothelium is a misnomer here. The corneal endothelium is bathed by aqueous humour, not by blood or lymph, and has a very different origin, function and appearance from vascular endothelia.)
