Heuser's membrane (or the exocoelomic membrane) is a short lived combination of hypoblast cells and extracellular matrix. At day 9-10 of embryonic development...

The extraembryonic membranes are four membranes which assist in the development of an animal's embryo. Such membranes occur in a range of animals from...

The vitreous membrane (or hyaloid membrane or vitreous cortex) is a layer of collagen separating the vitreous humour from the rest of the eye. At least...

still speak of membrane fluidity. These membranes are supported by a flat surface, e.g. the bottom of a box. The fluidity of these membranes can be controlled...

The fetal membranes are the four extraembryonic membranes, associated with the developing embryo, and fetus in humans and other mammals. They are the...

Prelabor rupture of membranes (PROM), previously known as premature rupture of membranes, is breakage of the amniotic sac before the onset of labour. Women...
