'''Since
''' Lamina is a general anatomical term meaning "plate" or "layer." It is used in both gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy to describe structures.
Some examples include:
- The laminae of the thyroid cartilage: two leaflike plates of cartilage that make up the walls of the structure
- The vertebral laminae: plates of bone that form the posterior walls of each vertebra, enclosing the spinal cord
- The laminae of the thalamus: the layers of thalamus tissue
- The lamina propria: a connective tissue layer under the epithelium of an organ
Lamina may refer to:
The lamina or blade in macroscopic algae like seaweed is a generally flattened structure that typically forms the principal bulk of the thallus. It is often developed into specialised organs such as flotation bladders and reproductive organs.
The lamina is typically an expansion of the stipe which in term is attached to the substrate by the holdfast.

The lamina is the most peripheral neuropil of the insect visual system. There are twelve distinct neuron classes in the lamina: the lamina monopolar cells L1-L5, two GABAergic feedback neurons (C2 and C3), two wide-field feedback neurons (Lawf1 and Lawf2), lamina intrinsic amacrine neurons (Lai) and the T1 basket cell. The outer photoreceptors, R1-R6, terminate in the lamina, where they form tetrad synapses with L1, L2, L3, and Lai.
