| anisotropic disks | The dark-staining anisotropic cross striations in the myofibrils of muscle fibres, comprising regions of overlapping thick (myosin) and thin (actin) filaments. Synonym: A disks, anisotropic disks, Q bands, Q disks. (05 Mar 2000) |

| anisotropic | Describes a structure whose appearance varies with the angle of observation. (12 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| anisotropic lipid | A lipid in the form of doubly refractive droplets. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anisotropic membrane | This type of synthetic membrane has an asymmetric pore structure: a thinfilm with tight pores backed by a thicker film with wider pores. Thistype of membrane is used for ultrafiltration andreverse osmosis, the porous side faces the feed stream and the tight-pored side faces the product stream. (09 Oct 1997) |
| A disks | The dark-staining anisotropic cross striations in the myofibrils of muscle fibres, comprising regions of overlapping thick (myosin) and thin (actin) filaments. Synonym: A disks, anisotropic disks, Q bands, Q disks. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bowman's disks | Disk's resulting from transverse segmentation of striated muscular fibre treated with weak acids, certain alkaline solutions, or freezing. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ranvier's disks | Tactile nerve endings, of cupped disklike form, in the skin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rod disks | Membranous disk's of flattened sacs about 14 nm thick that occur in the outer segment of rods of the retina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compact disks | Computer disks storing data with a maximum reduction of space and bandwidth. The compact size reduces cost of transmission and storage. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cone disks | Membranous disk's of flattened sacs about 14 nm thick that occur in the outer segment of cones of the retina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sandpaper disks | Disk's of paper coated with various grits of silica; used to abrade or smooth the surface of teeth or dental materials. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Q disks | The dark-staining anisotropic cross striations in the myofibrils of muscle fibres, comprising regions of overlapping thick (myosin) and thin (actin) filaments. Synonym: A disks, anisotropic disks, Q bands, Q disks. (05 Mar 2000) |
| emery disks | Disk's of paper or other materials coated with emery powder used to abrade or smooth the surface of teeth or fillings. (05 Mar 2000) |
