The blade of a leaf or petal
A single ply or layer in a laminate made up of a series of layers.
Latin = plate, either a layer of nervous tissue, like the laminae of the lateral geniculate body, or a connective tissue membrane, like lamina cribrosa sclerae, or of bone, as in vertebral laminae; hence, laminectomy = lamina + Greek ektome = excision - excision of the vertebral laminae to give access to the spinal cord; adjective - laminar.
Any thin bone. The lamina of the spine (arcus vertebrae) is a thin bone plate extending posteriorly from the pedicles and fusing to provide the dorsal portion of the neural arch (surrounding the spinal cord), forming the base for the spinous process. image
The flattened or arched part of the vertebral arch that forms the roof of the spinal canal.
thin, flat layer or membrane.
A layer of sediment or sedimentary rock less than 1 cm thick. Alternating couplets of lighter limestone and darker kerogen laminae are sometimes incorrectly called varves.
The back part of each vertebra, which forms a "roof" over each of the spinal nerves.
a thin, flattened layer or membrane, as the flattened part on either side of the arch of a vertebra; plural, laminae
The posterior portion of a vertebral bone. It is a flat piece of bone that covers and protects the dura, the nerves and the spinal cord.
Part of the neural arch of a vertebra extending from the pedicle to the median line.
The expanded portion of a leaf or petal.
A single ply or layer of composite preform.
part of each vertebra that forms the back of the spinal canal.
Thinnest recognizable layer in sediments or sedimentary rock.
A part of a vertebra. For each vertebra, two lamina connect the pedicles to the spinous processes — forming the roof of the spinal canal.
The part of a leaf that is flattened, to a greater or lesser degree.
A thin plate or leaf-like process.
(lamina, L. thin plate or layer): Thin layer of myelinated nerve fibers which divides the globus pallidus into an internal and external division.
The flattened or arched part of the vertebral arch, forming the roof of the spinal canal. The posterior part of the spinal ring that covers the spinal cord or nerves.
An anatomical portion of a vertebra. For each vertebra, two lamina connect the pedicles to the spinous process as part of the neural arch.
n. (L. lamina, a thin peice of metal or wood) the expanded, blade part, of a foliar leaf, petal, etc.
On a tobacco plant, the extended part of the leaf that is divided from the base to the tip by the stem; its framework is provided by the veins that extend from the stem. This term is used to refer only to the leaf blade—it does not include any portion of the stem. In contrast, the term whole leaf is used to refer to both the blade and stem of a leaf. Also known as the blade or web.
lamina, a thin plate) Blade or expanded part of a leaf.
the broad, expanded portion, or blade, of a leaf.
A thin plate of bone or cartilage or a thin layer of softer tissues. A stratum is also used to denote a layer
the wide part of the leaf; also called the leaf blade.
The portion of bone that extends from the pedicle and curves around to complete the vertebral arch on the right and left sides.
bone forming the arch or posterior wall of the spinal canal
the blade of a leaf. cf. blade.
Leaf blade (not the nerve) Bladschijf
same as blade: expanded flat part of a leaf or petal.
The layers of material in a laminate.
The leaf tissue other than the veins or axes.
The main part of a grass leaf, also called 'Blade'.
Flattened part of the vertebral arch, the ring of bone which, with the vertebral body, surrounds and encloses the spinal cord within that segment of the vertebral column.
The plate of the bone at the back of the spine arching over the spinal chord and the cauda equina.
A relatively flat bone that covers most of the back of the spinal canal.
The lamina is the blade of a leaf.
Lamina is a general anatomical term meaning "plate" or "layer." It is used in both gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy to describe structures.
