Lamella, in cell biology, is also used to describe the leading edge of a motile cell, of which the lamellipodia is the most forward portion. [5] The lipid bilayer core of biological membranes is also called lamellar phase. [6] Thus, each bilayer of multilamellar liposomes and wall of a unilamellar liposome is also referred to as a lamella.
Red arrows indicate secreted lamellar bodies, and green arrows indicate lamellar bodies in the cytoplasm. Scale bar = 200 nm. In cell biology, lamellar bodies (otherwise known as lamellar granules, membrane-coating granules (MCGs), keratinosomes or Odland bodies) are secretory organelles found in type II alveolar cells in the lungs, and in keratinocytes in the skin.
The middle lamella is a layer that cements together the primary cell walls of two adjoining plant cells. It is the first formed layer to be deposited at the time of cytokinesis . [ 1 ] The cell plate that is formed during cell division itself develops into middle lamella or lamellum.
The secondary cell wall, a thick layer formed inside the primary cell wall after the cell is fully grown. It is not found in all cell types. Some cells, such as the conducting cells in xylem, possess a secondary wall containing lignin, which strengthens and waterproofs the wall. The middle lamella, a layer rich in pectins. This outermost layer ...
In surface anatomy, a lamella is a thin plate-like structure, often one amongst many lamellae very close to one another, with open space between. Aside from respiratory organs, they appear in other biological roles including filter feeding and the traction surfaces of geckos .
A group of diseases stemming from improper function of basement membrane zone are united under the name epidermolysis bullosa. [14] In histopathology, thickened basement membranes are found in several inflammatory diseases, such as lichen sclerosus, systemic lupus erythematosus or dermatomyositis in the skin, or collagenous colitis in the colon ...
He pointed to Alabama’s 3-1 record against teams currently in the top 25, which was the best of that group. He also pointed to the fact that Alabama is 6-1 against teams above .500 while Miami ...
It is between Bowman's layer anteriorly, and Descemet's membrane posteriorly. At its centre, a human corneal stroma is composed of about 200 flattened lamellae (layers of collagen fibrils), superimposed one on another. [1] They are each about 1.5-2.5 μm in thickness. The anterior lamellae interweave more than posterior lamellae.
