Lamellae can also describe the layers of atoms in the crystal lattices of materials such as metals. 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. In chemical engineering, the term is used for devices such as filters and heat exchangers.
Each osteon consists of concentric layers, or lamellae, of compact bone tissue that surround a central canal, the Haversian canal. The Haversian canal contains the bone's blood supplies. The boundary of an osteon is the cement line. Each Haversian canal is surrounded by varying number (5-20) of concentrically arranged lamellae of bone matrix.
The region of the plane between two concentric circles is an annulus, and analogously the region of space between two concentric spheres is a spherical shell. [6] For a given point c in the plane, the set of all circles having c as their center forms a pencil of circles. Each two circles in the pencil are concentric, and have different radii.
Lamellae on a gecko's foot. 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 .
Lamella (mycology), a papery rib beneath a mushroom cap; Lamella (botany) Lamella (surface anatomy), a plate-like structure in an animal; Lamella of osteon, the concentric circles around the central Haversian canals; Lamella (cell biology): (i) part of a chloroplast (thin extension of thylakoid joining different grana)
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -President-elect Donald Trump said on Saturday the U.S. should not be involved in the conflict in Syria, where rebel forces are threatening the government of President Bashar ...
The chemistry of the Casparian strip has been described as composed of suberin. According to some studies, [8] the Casparian strip begins as a localized deposition of phenolic and unsaturated fatty substances in the middle lamella between the radial walls, as partly oxidized films. The primary wall becomes encrusted with and later thickened by ...
