Transparent, colourless mass of soft material, mostly water and collagen, filling the eyeball behind the crystalline lens.

of or relating to or constituting the vitreous humor of the eye; "the vitreous chamber"

Soft gelatinous material that fills the back of the eye and sits behind the lens. See also Syneresis.

The gel-like transparent fluid substance filling the posterior four fifths of the globe between the crystalline lens and retina.

Transparent, inert, jelly-like substance that fills the interior of the eye.

Jelly-like substance that fills the space within the eyeball.

The clear, jelly-like fluid in the central portion of the eye.

VIT-tree-us] The jelly-like substance which fills most of the normal eye.

The transparent colourless mass of gel that lies behind the lens and in front of the retina

(VIT-ree-us) The transparent, colorless mass of gel that lies behind lens and in front of retina.

The thick, jelly-like substance that fills the human eye behind the lens and gives the eye its natural rounded shape. Occasionally, this gel becomes clouded due to bleeding or injury, and must be removed by an ophthalmologist. This surgical removal is called a vitrectomy.

(VlT-ree-us), vitreous humor. Transparent, colorless gelatinous mass that fills the rear two-thirds of the eyeball, between the lens and the retina.

The clear, gel-like mass that fills the space between the lens and the retina.

Transparent, colorless mass of soft gelatinous material filling the eyeball behind the lens.

pertaining to the vitreous body of the eye

(VIT-tree-us) Transparent, colorless, gelatinous mass. Fills rear two-thirds of the interior of the eyeball, between the lens and retina.

That degree of vitrification evidenced by low water absorption; vitreous generally signifies less than 0.5% absorption, except for floor and wall tile and low-voltage electrical porcelain which are considered vitreous up to 3.0% water absorption.

Having very low porosity, either due to body compostion or glaze.

Surface material on some plumbing fixtures derived from or consisting of glass, translucent, and low on porosity.

(L. vitreus: in glass, of glass) adj. Transparent.

relating to or resembling or derived from or containing glass; "vitreous rocks"; "vitreous silica"

Pertaining to a composition of materials that resemble glass.

Latin vitreus = glassy.

Found on some plumbing fixtures, consisting of glass. Used as a surface material.

A surface material on some plumbing fixtures derived from or consisting of glass. It is low in porosity and is translucent.

literally, like glass, meaning the ceramic body is nonporous (won't absorb water). All fine china is vitrified because its ingredients include silica, which literally turns to glass when fired at high temperatures, giving it strength. Most stoneware, porcelain and bone china is vitrified. Vitrified products are usually dishwasher-and microwave-safe, though it also depends on the decoration. Vitrified china is also much more chip-resistant and stronger.

Adjective, when referring to enamel means Made of Glass, usually implying a silica based formula.

Pertaining to the hard, glassy and nonabsorbant quality of a body or glaze.

0.5 percent to 3 percent water absorption.

(vit´-re-ous) Having the luster and appearance of glass.

of or glass like, resembling glass-usually made of fired clay type materials

As applied to ceramics means glassy, having extremely low or no porosity.

Relating to or involving glass.

Vitrify or Vitrification Ware

The tem used to describe a gem that has a glassy luster.

Vitreous means glass-like.

Vitreous refers to a material in an amorphous, glassy state (in contrast to a crystalline state). In such a state, the constituent atoms do not exhibit the long-range order that is characteristic of crystals. However, they still exhibit short-range order -- the separation of atoms and/or the lengths of covalent bonds are very close to their typical equilibrium distances.
