Lamina (anatomy)

Lamina is a general anatomical term meaning "plate" or "layer".^[1] It is used in both gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy to describe structures.

Some examples include:

The laminae of the thyroid cartilage: two leaf-like plates of cartilage that make up the walls of the structure.^[2]
The vertebral laminae: plates of bone that form the posterior walls of each vertebra, enclosing the spinal cord.^[3]
The laminae of the thalamus: the layers of thalamus tissue.^[4]
The lamina propria: a connective tissue layer under the epithelium of an organ.^[5]
The nuclear lamina: a dense fiber network inside the nucleus of cells.^[6]
The lamina affixa: a layer of epithelium growing on the surface of the thalamus.
The lamina of Drosophila is the most peripheral neuropil of the insect visual system.
Lamina cribrosa with two different meanings.
Osseous spiral lamina, a feature of the bony canal of the cochlea
