Mucous Membrane. Mucous Membranes . Membrane, Mucous . Membranes, Mucous . Mucosae, Muscularis . Mucosal Tissues . Propria, Lamina . Tissue, Mucosal . Tissues, Mucosal . Mucosa . Mucosal Tissue . Lamina Propria . Muscularis Mucosae . An EPITHELIUM with MUCUS-secreting cells, such as GOBLET CELLS. It forms the lining of many body cavities, such as the DIGESTIVE TRACT, the RESPIRATORY TRACT, and the reproductive tract. Mucosa, rich in blood and lymph vessels, comprises an inner epithelium, a middle layer (lamina propria) of loose CONNECTIVE TISSUE, and an outer layer (muscularis mucosae) of SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS that separates the mucosa from submucosa. . 1.00
Laminaria. Kombu . Laminaria japonica . Kombus . Laminaria Tent . Laminaria japonicas . Laminarias . Tent, Laminaria . Tents, Laminaria . japonicas, Laminaria . Laminaria Tents . A genus of BROWN ALGAE in the family Laminariaceae. Dried pencil-like pieces may be inserted in the cervix where they swell as they absorb moisture, serving as osmotic dilators. . 0.68
Lamins. Nuclear matrix proteins that are structural components of the NUCLEAR LAMINA. They are found in most multicellular organisms. . 0.65
Laminin. Glycoprotein GP-2 . Laminin M . Laminin M Chain . Chain, Laminin M . Glycoprotein GP 2 . M Chain, Laminin . Merosin . Large, noncollagenous glycoprotein with antigenic properties. It is localized in the basement membrane lamina lucida and functions to bind epithelial cells to the basement membrane. Evidence suggests that the protein plays a role in tumor invasion. . 0.61
Kelp 25451. Sea Kelp . Laminariales . Large, robust forms of brown algae (PHAEOPHYCEAE) in the order Laminariales. They are a major component of the lower intertidal and sublittoral zones on rocky coasts in temperate and polar waters. Kelp, a kind of SEAWEED, usually refers to species in the genera LAMINARIA or MACROCYSTIS, but the term may also be used for species in FUCUS or Nereocystis. . 0.61

A family of glycosidases that hydrolyse crystalline CELLULOSE into soluble sugar molecules. Within this family there are a variety of enzyme subtypes with differing substrate specificities that must work together to bring about complete cellulose hydrolysis. They are found in structures called CELLULOSOMES. . 0.58
Lamin Type A. Lamin A . Lamin A-C . Type A Lamins . Lamin A C . Lamins, Type A . A subclass of developmentally regulated lamins having a neutral isoelectric point. They are found to disassociate from nuclear membranes during mitosis. . 0.55
