  2. Lamina propria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamina_propria

    The lamina propria is a thin layer of loose (areolar) connective tissue, which lies beneath the epithelium, and together with the epithelium and basement membrane constitutes the mucosa. As its Latin name indicates, it is a characteristic component of the mucosa, or the mucosa's "own special layer."

  3. Tissue membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_membrane

    The underlying connective tissue, called the lamina propria (literally “own layer”), help support the fragile epithelial layer. A serous membrane is an epithelial membrane composed of mesodermally derived epithelium called the mesothelium that is supported by connective tissue. [2]

  4. Vocal cords - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocal_cords

    Since the basal lamina secures the epithelium to the superficial layer of the lamina propria with anchoring fibers, this is a common site for injury. If a person has a phonotrauma or habitual vocal hyperfunction, also known as pressed phonation, the proteins in the basal lamina can shear, causing vocal fold injury, usually seen as nodules or ...

  5. Histology of the vocal cords - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histology_of_the_vocal_cords

    The cover is composed of the epithelium (mucosa), basal lamina (or basement membrane zone), and the superficial layer of the lamina propria. The transition is composed of the intermediate and deep layers of the lamina propria. The body is composed of the thyroarytenoid muscle. This layered structure of tissues is very important for vibration of ...

    These are the first heart sound (S 1) and second heart sound (S 2), produced by the closing of the atrioventricular valves and semilunar valves, respectively. In addition to these normal sounds, a variety of other sounds may be present including heart murmurs , adventitious sounds , and gallop rhythms S 3 and S 4 .

  7. Reinke's edema - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinke's_edema

    Intermediate lamina propria; Deep lamina propria; Vocalis muscle; In order for humans to produce sound for speech, the vocal folds must readily vibrate. The two layers of the vocal cords that vibrate are the Reinke's space and the overlying epithelium. In fact, these layers move freely over the more rigid intermediate and deep lamina proprias. [7]

    [4] The lamina propria: a connective tissue layer under the epithelium of an organ. [5] The nuclear lamina: a dense fiber network inside the nucleus of cells. [6] The lamina affixa: a layer of epithelium growing on the surface of the thalamus. The lamina of Drosophila is the most peripheral neuropil of the insect visual system.
