What's the difference between membrane and subperitoneal?
Membrane
Definition:
(n.) A thin layer or fold of tissue, usually supported by a fibrous network, serving to cover or line some part or organ, and often secreting or absorbing certain fluids.
Example Sentences:

K., Romain, R. E., and Herz, R. E. (1987) Am.
(10) The fraction of the viral dose which became cell associated was independent of the incubation temperature and increased with increasing target membrane concentration.
(11) Together these results suggest that IVC may operate as a selective activator of calpain both in the cytosol and at the membrane level; in the latter case in synergism with the activation induced by association of the proteinase to the cell membrane.
(12) The Cole-Moore effect, which was found here only under a specific set of conditions, thus may be a special case rather than the general property of the membrane.

(15) These membrane perturbation effects not observed with bleomycin-iron in the presence of a hydroxyl radical scavenger, dimethyl thiourea, or a chelating agent, desferrioxamine, were correlated with the ability of the complex to generate highly reactive oxygen species.
(16) Extensive studies during recent years have shown that the interaction between hormone and membrane-bound receptor can affect the receptor characteristics in at least two ways.
(17) Membranes of this material were filled with islets of Langerhans and implanted in the peritoneal cavity of rats.
(18) The penicillin-resistant Enterococcus hirae R40 has a typical profile of membrane-bound penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) except that the 71 kDa PBP5 of low penicillin affinity represents about 50% of all the PBPs present.
(19) To investigate the mechanism of enhanced responsiveness of cholesterol-enriched human platelets, we compared stimulation by surface-membrane-receptor (thrombin) and post-receptor (AlF4-) G-protein-directed pathways.
(20) Moreover, in DCVC-treated cells the mitochondria could not be stained with rhodamine-123, indicating severe mitochondrial damage and loss of membrane potential.
Subperitoneal
Definition:
(a.) Situated under the peritoneal membrane.
Example Sentences:
(1) The single space thus created allows the wide implantation of a subperitoneal Mersilene prosthesis which is isolated from the viscera as well as from the skin.
(2) Dorsally the subperitoneal tissue of the rectouterine pouch joins the circularly arranged connective tissue of the rectal adventitia.
(3) A rarely reported method for revascularization of lower limbs is the use of descending thoracic aorta and a prosthesis passing through the subpleural and subperitoneal tissues.
(4) The fat body, small and isolated in newborns, is part of the subperitoneal mass of fat and loose areolar tissue in adults.
(5) The results support the existence of unrecognized subperitoneal and microscopic surface endometriosis.
(6) The credit for this specific feature of our short series may be due to an exclusively subperitoneal approach for both the pancreas and the kidney transplantation, thus limiting the seriousness of postoperative infectious complications to a large extent.
(7) Today the cause of LPD is seen in a specific hormonal stimulation of the pluripotent subperitoneal mesenchyma of the müllerian duct in the minor pelvis.
(8) Twice the cervical portion of the oesophagus was perforated, once the lower thoracic portion and once subperitoneal perforation in hiatus hernia was involved.
(9) We believe, in contrast, that LPD is a benign reparative process in which fibroblasts replace subperitoneal decidua.
(10) Three cases of traumatic rupture of a subperitoneal hollow viscus are reported : two duodenal lesions and one rectal wound.
(11) The authors report about the observation of a subperitoneal pelvic cystic lymphangioma in an adult patient: ultrasound and CT dat had yet never been described for the rare pelvic form, and are the same as with the other locations of cystic lymphangioma in adults.
(12) Chronic pelvic congestion syndrome or fibrous congestion is linked with fibrous changes of the subperitoneal cellular tissue after more or less lasting chronic congestion.
(13) Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) is a rare condition characterized by multiple subperitoneal spread of nodules, giving the clinical impression of a widespread malignant tumor.
(14) The histopathological examination of several sections of tubal ectopic pregnancies shows that the growth of the trophoblast mostly takes place in an extraluminal site subperitoneally and that the dilated tube is caused by coagulated blood and not by the trophoblast.
(15) Proposed methods to prevent such fixed loops of small intestine in the pelvis include closure of the pelvic peritoneum with subperitoneal drainage, fixation of the bladder to the sacrum, retroversion of the uterus, placement of prosthetic mesh, and placement of an omental pedicle graft in the pelvic hollow.
