bruch membrane (medicine) and concretion (medicine)


bruch membrane (medicine)


bruch membrane


The membrane, also called the lamina basalis choroideae, that acts as a support structure on the inner side of the choroid (the vascular sheet that supplies the retinal pigment epithelium and the outer portion of the sensory retina adjacent to it). It is 7 microns thick and is composed of the basement membranes of the choriocapillaris endothelium and the retinal pigment epithelium. The membrane stops at the optic nerve, as does the retinal pigment epithelium.

1. <chemistry> The act or process of making or becoming solid.

2. <ecology> A localised concentration of chemical compounds, (for example, calcium carbonate and iron oxide) in the form of a grain or nodule of varying size, shape, hardness and colour, concretions of significance in hydric soils are usually iron oxides and manganese oxides occurring at or near the soil surface, which have developed under conditions of fluctuating water tables.
