Pellucidar is accessible to the surface world via a polar opening allowing passage between the inner and outer worlds through which a rigid airship visits in the third book of the series.

Although the inner surface of the Earth has an absolute smaller area than the outer, Pellucidar actually has a greater land area, as its continents mirror the surface world's oceans and its oceans mirror the surface continents.

* Cell surface receptor, a receptor on the outer surface of a cell membrane, that takes part in communication between the cell and the outside world

It is also the derivative of the formula for the volume with respect to r because the total volume of a sphere of radius r can be thought of as the summation of the surface area of an infinite number of spherical shells of infinitesimal thickness concentrically stacked inside one another from radius 0 to radius r. At infinitesimal thickness the discrepancy between the inner and outer surface area of any given shell is infinitesimal and the elemental volume at radius r is simply the product of the surface area at radius r and the infinitesimal thickness.

Distinct types of membranes also create intracellular organelles: endosome ; smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum ; sarcoplasmic reticulum ; Golgi apparatus ; lysosome ; mitochondrion ( inner and outer membranes ); nucleus ( inner and outer membranes ); peroxisome ; vacuole ; cytoplasmic granules ; cell vesicles ( phagosome, autophagosome, clathrin-coated vesicles, COPI-coated and COPII-coated vesicles ) and secretory vesicles ( including synaptosome, acrosomes, melanosomes, and chromaffin granules ).

The inner, granular mass is called the endoplasm and the outer, clear and glassy layer is called the cell cortex or the ectoplasm.

The outer part of the primary cell wall of the plant epidermis is usually impregnated with cutin and wax, forming a permeability barrier known as the plant cuticle.

When the sperm breaks through the hard outer shell of the egg a new cell embryo is formed, which, in humans, grows to full size in 9 months.

Some algae may store food in the form of oil droplets. Green algae usually have a rigid cell wall made up of an inner layer of cellulose and outer layer of pectose.

The outer cells become the trophectoderm or trophoblast, which will form in combination with maternal uterine endometrial tissue the placenta, needed for fetal nurturing via maternal blood, while inner cells become the inner cell mass that will form all fetal organs ( the bridge between these two parts eventually forms the umbilical cord ).

Freshly shed leaf litter may be inaccessible due to an outer layer of cuticle or bark, and cell contents are protected by a cell wall.

While Bobby sits in his cell at the sheriff station, the outer wall is blown open, and a man named Scott Summers ( Cyclops ) walks in and offers to take Bobby with him.

# The linear phage genome is injected past the cell outer membrane.

Rz and Rz1 are membrane proteins that form a complex that somehow destroys the outer membrane, after the endolysin has degraded the cell wall.

Disruption of the outer membrane permits proteins in the intermembrane space to leak into the cytosol, leading to certain cell death.

They are found bound to the outer membrane of mitochondria in most cell types in the body.

This genus is distinctive because of its unusual habit of " snapping division " in which the outer bacterial cell wall ruptures at a joint ( hence its name ).

In some cases the flagella is shed ; in others it protrudes from the outer membrane of the prey cell.

After a collision, the Bdellovibrio cell attaches to the prey cell outer membrane and peptidoglycan layer, after which it creates a small hole in the outer membrane.

While we are filling outer space with scientific successes, for many the `` inner '' space of their soul is an aching void.

Gaining outer space and losing `` inner '' space is bad business according to God's standards.

The three sepals are generally colourful and bright ( which is why they are sometimes called outer tepals ), with one on each side (" lateral sepals ") and one usually at the top of the flower (" dorsal sepal "), sometimes forming a hood.

Members of the family are usually perennial herbs with sword-shaped unifacial leaves ; the inflorescence is a spike or panicle of solitary flowers, or forms a monochasial cyme or rhipidium ( meaning that the successive stems of the flowers follow a zig-zag path in the same plane ); and the flower has only three stamens, each opposite to an outer tepal.

They are grouped with the outer bodies — centaurs, Neptune trojans, and trans-Neptunian objects — as minor planets, which is the term preferred in astronomical circles.

In some categories — notably groups, rings, and Lie algebras — it is possible to separate automorphisms into two types, called " inner " and " outer " automorphisms.

The quotient group Aut ( G ) / Inn ( G ) is usually denoted by Out ( G ); the non-trivial elements are the cosets that contain the outer automorphisms.

It is an outer locative case, used just as the adessive and allative cases to denote both being on top of something and " being around the place " ( as opposed to the inner locative case, the elative, which means " from out of " or " from the inside of ").

Cytochrome c is also released from mitochondria due to formation of a channel, the mitochondrial apoptosis-induced channel ( MAC ), in the outer mitochondrial membrane, and serves a regulatory function as it precedes morphological change associated with apoptosis.

It will expand further after its helium supply is exhausted, slough off its outer shell and become a white dwarf inside a planetary nebula.

Atlanta is mostly encircled by Interstate 285, a beltway locally known as " the Perimeter " that has come to mark the boundary between “ Inside the Perimeter ” ( ITP ), the city and close-in suburbs, and “ Outside the Perimeter ” ( OTP ), the outer suburbs and exurbs.

It is believed that the mechanisms are multifaceted and include the following: 1 ) Potassium or glutamate leakage through the outer membrane of bacteria ; 2 ) Osmotic balance disturbances ; 3 ) Binding to proteins that do not require or utilize copper ; 4 ) Oxidative stress by hydrogen peroxide generation.
