The reticular membrane (RM, also called reticular lamina or apical cuticular plate) [1] is a thin, stiff lamina that extends from the outer hair cells to the Hensen's cells. [2] The RM is composed of "minute-fiddle-shaped cuticular structures" called the phalangeal extensions of the outer hair cells, interspaced with extensions coming from the ...
As seen with the electron microscope, the basement membrane is composed of two layers, the basal lamina and the reticular lamina. [4] The underlying connective tissue attaches to the basal lamina with collagen VII anchoring fibrils and fibrillin microfibrils .
In neuroanatomy, the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN; also called the lateral geniculate body or lateral geniculate complex) is a structure in the thalamus and a key component of the mammalian visual pathway. It is a small, ovoid, ventral projection of the thalamus where the thalamus connects with the optic nerve. There are two LGNs, one on the ...
The basal lamina is made up of laminin (glycoproteins) secreted by epithelial cells. The reticular lamina beneath the basal lamina is made up of collagen proteins secreted by connective tissue . Cell junctions
Reticular fibers, reticular fibres or reticulin is a type of fiber in connective tissue [1] composed of type III collagen secreted by reticular cells. [2] They are mainly composed of reticulin protein and form a network or mesh.
The structural change after sound exposure in the Hensen's cells were observed by laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM), it showed that after sound exposure, the Hensen's cells moved towed the tunnel of Corti, most of the movement were found in the third row of outer hair cells around with outer part rotates, furthermore, the movement often ...
Reticular connective tissue is a type of connective tissue [1] with a network of reticular fibers, made of type III collagen [2] (reticulum = net or network). Reticular fibers are not unique to reticular connective tissue, but only in this tissue type are they dominant. [3] Reticular fibers are synthesized by special fibroblasts called ...
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."
