What's the difference between lamellar and lamelliform?
Lamellar
Definition:
(a.) Flat and thin; lamelliform; composed of lamellae.
Example Sentences:
(1) No reaction product was observed in the lamellar areas.

(10) In contrast, SP-A was identified in two populations of vesicles with high phospholipid-to-protein ratios: one lacked N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase and lgp-120 and contained lamellar bodies; the other contained both lysosomal markers and a heterogeneous population of organelles that included multivesicular bodies, lamellar bodies, and lysosomes.
(11) In the lower granular layer, progressively more Ca++ precipitates appeared intercellularly, with the only intracellular Ca++ localized within mitochondria and lamellar bodies (limiting membranes and discs).
(12) Two of the sheep developed typical lesions of geeldikkop, including birefringent crystalloid material in bile ducts and concentric periductal lamellar fibrosis.
(13) In the area where the collagen was disorganized, and also near the periosteum, woven bone was first formed, which was then remodeled into lamellar bone.
(14) They induced modifications in particle distribution, a blebbing of particle-free areas and the appearance of lamellar figures on the plasma membrane of fungus cells.
(15) The depression of cellular division and the stimulation of palmitic acid uptake with coicident appearance of lamellar bodies in cultures exposed to prednisolone supports the hypothesis that control of the differentiation of alveolar epithelium with synthesis of phospholipid surfactant, is a function of the adrenal cortex.
(16) The precise relationship between the vesicles and the lamellar bodies is unknown.
(17) Dilysocardiolipin dispersions at low salt concentration are micellar, and a transition to a lamellar phase takes place between 1 and 2 M NaCl.
(18) The pores observed were about half the average diameter of the lamellar bodies and a deformation of that spherical secretory organelle was seen frequently.
(19) Some of the fully matured lamellar bodies also contained glycogen.
(20) This can be achieved by penetrating keratoplasty, lamellar keratoplasty, sclerokeratoplasty, keratectomy, peritomy, conjunctival transplantation or keratoepithelioplasty.
Lamelliform
Definition:
(a.) Thin and flat; scalelike; lamellar.
Example Sentences:
(1) At higher magnification the synoviocytes showed evidence of considerable surface activity (smooth granules, larger cauliflower-like excrescences, thin lamelliform filopodia).
(2) The intimal cells had withdrawn many of their long processes, acquired lamelliform pseudopodia, and somewhat resembled cells of the A-type (Barland et al.
(3) Boundaries form between the two tissues, as motile activity at the boundary is replaced by stabilizing lamelliform protrusions in the plane of the boundary.
(4) Mitochondria also proliferate, enlarge, and elongate, but retain lamelliform cristae.
(5) The synoviocytes at the upper (free) surface of the villus withdrew their long processes, acquired lamelliform pseudopodia, and their endoplasmic reticulum regressed; they were similar in appearance to the A-type.
(6) In addition the tumor shows some unusual ultrastructural features: lamelliform cristae and cytoplasmic and nuclear crystalline structures.
(7) Most of the neurons have thick dendrites covered with lamelliform dendritic processes.
(8) Allometric growth of body proportions and organs is determined for three speciies of digenetic trematodes of marine fishes from Belize: Apocreadium mexicanum Manter, 1937 (Apocreadiidae), Pseudocreadium lamelliforme (Linton.
(9) The ventrolateral XII column is lamelliformed and splits into a dorsomedial and a ventrolateral part, the former intimately related topographically to the dorsomedial column.
(10) At the early midgastrula stage, they begin to express a characteristic sequence of behaviors, called mediolateral intercalation behavior (MIB): (1) large, stable, filiform and lamelliform protrusions form in the lateral and medial directions, thus making the cells bipolar; (2) these protrusions are applied directly to adjacent cell surfaces and exert traction on them, without contact inhibition; (3) as a result, the cells elongate and align parallel to the mediolateral axis and perpendicular to the axis of extension; (4) the elongate, aligned cells intercalate between one another along the mediolateral axis, thus producing a longer, narrower array.
(11) The mitochondria are variable in shape, size and internal structure but generally lamelliform or tubulo-vesicular with a dense matrix in the outer region and plate-like and tubular in the inner region.
