Foliation


Definition:

  • (n.) The process of forming into a leaf or leaves.
  • (n.) The manner in which the young leaves are dispo/ed within the bud.
  • (n.) The act of beating a metal into a thin plate, leaf, foil, or lamina.
  • (n.) The act of coating with an amalgam of tin foil and quicksilver, as in making looking-glasses.
  • (n.) The enrichment of an opening by means of foils, arranged in trefoils, quatrefoils, etc.; also, one of the ornaments. See Tracery.
  • (n.) The property, possessed by some crystalline rocks, of dividing into plates or slabs, which is due to the cleavage structure of one of the constituents, as mica or hornblende. It may sometimes include slaty structure or cleavage, though the latter is usually independent of any mineral constituent, and transverse to the bedding, it having been produced by pressure.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Serially sectioned rabbit foliate taste buds were examined with high voltage electron microscopy (HVEM) and computer-assisted, three-dimensional reconstruction.
  • (2) Tissue sections, taken from foliate and circumvallate papillae, generally revealed taste buds in which all cells were immunoreactive; however, occasionally some taste buds were found to contain highly reactive individual cells adjacent to non-reactive cells.

  • (4) Exposure to ethanol from E12 to PN5 resulted in a large loss of P cells and retarded the foliation of the cerebellum.
  • (5) Fissurations forming lobules arose largely independent of the external granular layer by directed expansion of the central fiber core while normal parallel foliation is an elaboration of the lobular surface controlled by growth forces defined by both distribution of the external granular layer and the underlying fiber core with associated Purkinje cells.
