| 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) |
