  2. Basal lamina - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_lamina

    The terms “basal lamina” and “basement membrane” were often used interchangeably, until it was realised that all three layers seen with the electron microscope constituted the single layer seen with the light microscope. This has led to considerable terminological confusion; if used, the term “basal lamina” should be confined to its ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Laminin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminin

    They are major constituents of the basement membrane, namely the basal lamina (the protein network foundation for most cells and organs). Laminins are vital to biological activity, influencing cell differentiation , migration , and adhesion .

  5. 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."

  6. Basal cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_cell

    Basal cells are bound to each other by desmosomes, and to the basal lamina of the basement membrane by hemidesmosomes. These junctions help to create one tightly bound, continuous tissue layer that can endure mechanical stress and effectively function as a connection between the basement membrane and remaining epithelial tissue.

  7. Pain scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain_scale

    [2] [3] The focus on patient report of pain is an essential aspect of any pain scale, but there are additional features that should be included in a pain scale. In addition to focusing on the patient's perspective, a pain scale should also be free of bias, accurate and reliable, able to differentiate between pain and other undesired emotions ...

  8. Glia limitans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glia_limitans

    The glia limitans, or the glial limiting membrane, is a thin barrier of astrocyte foot processes associated with the parenchymal basal lamina surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It is the outermost layer of neural tissue , and among its responsibilities is the prevention of the over-migration of neurons and neuroglia , the supporting cells ...
