| Similar words: Descemet's Membrane | |
| Descemet's Membrane Lamina Elastica Posterior | Descemet Membrane | Descemets Membrane | Elastica Posterior, Lamina | Elastica Posteriors, Lamina | Lamina Elastica Posteriors | Membrane, Descemet' | s | Posterior, Lamina Elastica | Posteriors, Lamina Elastica The strong, resistant, thin, noncellular fourth layer of the cornea, located between the endothelium (from which it is secreted) and the stroma. (Cline et al., Dictionary of Visual Science, 4th ed) | |
| Siderosis Sideroses The deposition of iron in a tissue. In the eye, the iron may be deposited in the stroma adjacent to the Descemet's membrane. | |
| Cornea Corneas The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous epithelium, Bowman's membrane, stroma, DESCEMET'S MEMBRANE, and mesenchymal endothelium. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the sclera, is avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses. (Cline et al., Dictionary of Visual Science, 4th ed) | |
| Fuchs' Endothelial Dystrophy Fuch' | s Endothelial Dystrophy | Dystrophy, Fuch' | s Endothelial | Dystrophy, Fuchs' | Endothelial | Endothelial Dystrophy, Fuch' | s | Endothelial Dystrophy, Fuchs' | | Fuch Endothelial Dystrophy | Fuchs Endothelial Dystrophy Disorder caused by loss of endothelium of the central cornea. It is characterized by hyaline endothelial outgrowths on Descemet's membrane, epithelial blisters, reduced vision, and pain. | |
| Membrane Proteins Cell Membrane Proteins | Cell Surface Proteins | Integral Membrane Proteins | Surface Proteins | Integral Membrane Protein | Membrane Protein | Membrane-Associated Proteins | Membrane Associated Proteins | Membrane Protein, Integral Proteins which are found in membranes including cellular and intracellular membranes. They consist of two types, peripheral and integral proteins. They include most membrane-associated enzymes, antigenic proteins, transport proteins, and drug, hormone, and lectin receptors. | |
| Collagen Type VIII Collagen Type-VIII, alpha1 Chain | Collagen Type-VIII, alpha1 Subunit | Collagen alpha1(VIII) | Procollagen Type VIII | Type VIII Collagen | Type VIII Procollagen | Collagen Type VIII, alpha1 Chain | Collagen Type VIII, alpha1 Subunit A non-fibrillar collagen originally found in DESCEMET'S MEMBRANE. It is expressed in endothelial cell layers and in tissues undergoing active remodeling. It is heterotrimer comprised of alpha1(VIII) and alpha2(VIII) chains. | |
| Membrane Fusion Fusion, Membrane | Fusions, Membrane | Membrane Fusions The adherence and merging of cell membranes, intracellular membranes, or artificial membranes to each other or to viruses, parasites, or interstitial particles through a variety of chemical and physical processes. | |
| Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation ECMO | Oxygenation, Extracorporeal Membrane | Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenations | Membrane Oxygenation, Extracorporeal | Membrane Oxygenations, Extracorporeal | Oxygenations, Extracorporeal Membrane Application of a life support system that circulates the blood through an oxygenating system, which may consist of a pump, a membrane oxygenator, and a heat exchanger. Examples of its use are to assist victims of smoke inhalation injury, respiratory failure, and cardiac failure. | |
| Membrane Lipids Cell Membrane Lipids | Lipids, Cell Membrane | Lipids, Membrane | Membrane Lipids, Cell Lipids, predominantly phospholipids, cholesterol and small amounts of glycolipids found in membranes including cellular and intracellular membranes. These lipids may be arranged in bilayers in the membranes with integral proteins between the layers and peripheral proteins attached to the outside. Membrane lipids are required for active transport, several enzymatic activities and membrane formation. | |
| Bruch Membrane Lamina Basalis Choroideae | Bruch' | s Membrane | Bruchs Membrane | Membrane, Bruch | Membrane, Bruch' | s The membrane, also called the lamina basalis choroideae, that acts as a support structure on the inner side of the choroid (the vascular sheet that supplies the retinal pigment epithelium and the outer portion of the sensory retina adjacent to it). It is 7 microns thick and is composed of the basement membranes of the choriocapillaris endothelium and the retinal pigment epithelium. The membrane stops at the optic nerve, as does the retinal pigment epithelium. | |
