  2. Basement membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basement_membrane

    The most notable examples of basement membranes is the glomerular basement membrane of the kidney, by the fusion of the basal lamina from the endothelium of glomerular capillaries and the podocyte basal lamina, [9] and between lung alveoli and pulmonary capillaries, by the fusion of the basal lamina of the lung alveoli and of the basal lamina ...

  3. Lamina propria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamina_propria

    The lamina propria macrophages when under much stress release pro-inflammatory signals that may lead to increased probability of developing cancer. An example of this is the overactivation of the IL-6/STAT3 pathway, which has been linked to colitis-associated cancer. [14]

  4. Basal lamina - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_lamina

    Some theorize that the lamina lucida is an artifact created when preparing the tissue, and that the lamina lucida is therefore equal to the lamina densa in vivo. [7] The term "basal lamina" is usually used with electron microscopy, while the term "basement membrane" is usually used with light microscopy. Examples of basement membranes include:

  5. Glomerular basement membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glomerular_basement_membrane

    The glomerular basement membrane of the kidney is the basal lamina layer of the glomerulus.The glomerular endothelial cells, the glomerular basement membrane, and the filtration slits between the podocytes perform the filtration function of the glomerulus, separating the blood in the capillaries from the filtrate that forms in Bowman's capsule. [1]

  6. Junctional epithelium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junctional_epithelium

    The structure of the EA is similar to that of the junction between the epithelium and subadjacent connective tissue; the internal basal lamina consists of a lamina lucida and lamina densa. [5] This internal basal lamina of the EA is continuous with the external basal lamina between the junctional epithelium and the lamina propria at the apical ...

  7. Pain scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain_scale

    A Chinese pain scale diagram, rating pain on a scale of 1 to 10. A pain scale measures a patient's pain intensity or other features. Pain scales are a common communication tool in medical contexts, and are used in a variety of medical settings. Pain scales are a necessity to assist with better assessment of pain and patient screening.

  8. McGill Pain Questionnaire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McGill_Pain_Questionnaire

    The McGill Pain Questionnaire, also known as McGill Pain Index, is a scale of rating pain developed at McGill University by Melzack and Torgerson in 1971. [1] It is a self-report questionnaire that allows individuals to give their doctor a good description of the quality and intensity of pain that they are experiencing.

  9. 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 ...
