What is the medical term meaning mucous membrane that lines the inner surface of the eyelids and covers most of the anterior surface of the eye?
The medical term for the mucous membrane that lines the inner surface of the eyelids and covers most of the anterior surface of the eye is "conjunctiva."
The conjunctiva is a sac that lines where?
Covers the inner surface of the eyelid
The double membrane that covers the lungs and lines the thoracic cavity is?
Pleura is the double membrane that cover and line in the thoracic cavity.
Conjunctiva?
DefinitionThe conjunctiva is a thin membrane that covers the inner surface of the eyelid and the white part of the eyeball (the sclera).Inflammation of the conjunctiva is called conjunctivitis, which makes the white of the eye appear red.
What structures increase the surface area for cellular respiration in a mitochondria?
Inner foldings increase surface area. Inner membrane folds for that
Why is the inner mitochondrial membrane is folded?
The outer membrane is smooth, while the inner membrane is convoluted into folds called cristae in order to increase the surface area
What is the structure of a mitochondrion?
The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. It has two membranes. The outer membrane covers the organelle and contains it. The inner membrane folds over many times. This folding increases the surface are inside the organelle.
What are folded layers of the inner membrane in mitochondria called?
I think you are referring to the cristae. These are the folded parts of the inner membrane. The purpose is to increase surface area of the inner membrane against the matrix. The membrane is the site of the energy transfer in the mitochondria, so having more surface area is a plus.
What is the medical term meaning membrane that lines the eyelids and covers the anterior sclera?
Scleroderma or SclerolemaConjunctiva.It is a layer of stratified squamous epithelium that covers the inner surfaces of the eyelids and anterior surface of the eye to the edges of the cornea.
Why is inner mitochondrial membrane folded?
The outer membrane is smooth, while the inner membrane is convoluted into folds called cristae in order to increase the surface area
What do you call the infoldings of the inner membrane of the mitochondria?
They are called cristae. They increase surface area
Does the cristae increase or decrease the surface area of the inner membrane?
Cristae increases the surface area of the interior membrane of the mitocondria.
