1. A thin plate-like part, layer or structure. 2. Wood that is laid out and joined in crosspieces to create a diamond pattern in this roof framing method.
A lamella is a thin plate-like structure, often one amonst many lamellae very close to one another, with open space between. Aside from respiratory organs, they appear in other biological roles including filter feeding, the traction surfaces of geckos, and chloroplast membranes where high permeability is important.
A lamella, in cell biology, is an extension of a thylakoid within a chloroplast, linking a thylakoid within one granum to one in another. They are the sites of photosystem I. Simply put, lamellae may be considered as a pair of membranes containing chlorophyll.
