1. A scale, found on some sundials and globes, that is shaped like a figure eight and marked to indicate the declination of the sun and to allow the calculation of apparent solar time.
2. Etymology: from Latin analemma, "the pedestal of a sundial" then the sundial itself, from Greek analemma, "to take up, to support"; from analambanein, "to receive, to take up, to restore"; from
ana-, "up" + lambanein, "to take".

epilemma
The connective tissue sheath of nerve fibers near their termination.
glandilemma

myolemma
A delicate membranous sheath enveloping each fibril of muscular tissue.
neurilemma, neurolemma
In the peripheral nervous system, the cytoplasm and nuclei of Schwann cells wrapped around the myelin sheath or the unmyelinated processes of nerve fibers. This contributes to regeneration of damaged nerve fibers by producing growth factors and serving as a tunnel or guide for regrowth.

neurilemmitis
Inflammation of a neurilemma.
neurilemmoma, neurilemoma, neurinoma
A firm, encapsulated fibrillar tumor of a peripheral nerve.
neurilemmosarcoma
A malignant neurilemona or a firm, encapsulated fibrillar tumor of a peripheral nerve or the fine rapid contractions or twitchings of fibers or of small groups of fibers in skeletal or cardiac muscle.
oolemma
Plasma membrane of the oocyte.
plasmalemma, plasmalemmal, plasmolemma
The thin membrane immediately surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell that restricts the passage of molecules into it.
