释义

Definition of plasmalemma in English:

plasmalemma

noun ˈplazməˌlɛməˌplazməˈlemə
Biology
  • A plasma membrane which bounds a cell, especially one immediately within the wall of a plant cell.

    〔生〕(细胞)质膜

    Example sentencesExamples
    • The unstained region around the periphery of most cells was almost certainly an artefact of plasmolysis, indicated by occasional contact points between plasmalemma and cell wall plasmodesmata.
    • Folding of the plasmalemma and the formation of multiple small vesicles between the cell wall and the plasmalemma were observed.
    • Net glucose loss from live cells would have been limited by the intact plasmalemma, cell metabolism and simultaneous glucose uptake.
    • A mechanosensitive Ca 2 + channel is shown linking the cell wall to the plasmalemma so that relative movement between them, or between the former and the cytoskeleton, could open the channel.
    • It is, therefore, most unfortunate that little is known of them except that they appear to be gated by tension and link the cell wall to the plasmalemma and possibly the cytoskeleton.

Derivatives

  • plasmalemmal

  • adjective
    Biology
    • Its determination is equivalent to measuring the whole-cell currents of a plasmalemmal channel system and provides important information on the voltage-controlled gating of the [Ca.sup.2 +] release channels in the SR.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • Caveolins are the main structural proteins of glycolipid/cholesterol-rich plasmalemmal invaginations, termed caveolae.
      • The exclusion of extracellularly placed hydrophilic, fluorescent dye molecules of various sizes have frequently been used to determine the existence of a barrier (often called a ‘seal’) after plasmalemmal injury.
      • The undulating plasmalemmal invaginations have been reported to be unique to brown adipose tissue and hibernomas.
      • Ultrastructural examination of the tumor in case 2 revealed pleomorphic mitochondria with dense matrices and transverse lamellar cristae, micropinocytotic vesicles, and periodic short plasmalemmal densities.

Origin
