UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D002473	Cell Wall	The outermost layer of a cell in most PLANTS; BACTERIA; FUNGI; and ALGAE. The cell wall is usually a rigid structure that lies external to the CELL MEMBRANE, and provides a protective barrier against physical or chemical agents.	Cell Walls,Wall, Cell,Walls, Cell
D003187	Compliance	Distensibility measure of a chamber such as the lungs (LUNG COMPLIANCE) or bladder. Compliance is expressed as a change in volume per unit change in pressure.
D004548	Elasticity	Resistance and recovery from distortion of shape.
D001696	Biomechanical Phenomena	The properties, processes, and behavior of biological systems under the action of mechanical forces.
