first of all only one thread is needed… And in what context do the words occur?

[MrMistery]

lumen: space in a tube(like the inside of a pipe)
lamina: can refer to more than one structure. see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamina
lamins: intermediate filaments that make up the nuclear lamina
laminin: protein that makes up the basal lamina of epithelial tissues.
