| articular vascular network of knee | An arterial network over the front and sides of the knee, formed by branches of the descending genicular artery, of the five genicular arteries from the popliteal, of the anterior tibial recurrent, and of the fibular circumflex branch of the posterior tibial. Synonym: rete articulare genus. (05 Mar 2000) |

| calcaneal arterial network | A superficial network over the calcaneus, formed by branches of the peroneal and posterior tibial arteries and twigs from the malleolar retia. Synonym: rete calcaneum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| patellar network | The superficial portion of the articular vascular network of the knee. Synonym: rete patellae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medial malleolar network | A network over the medial malleolus formed by branches from the anterior and posterior medial malleolar and medial tarsal arteries. Synonym: rete malleolare mediale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| peritarsal network | The lymphatic vessels along the margin of the eyelid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chromatin network | The appearance of basophilic material in the nuclei of many cells after fixation. See: chromatin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| microtrabecular network | <cell biology> Complex network arrangement seen using the high voltage electron microscope to look at the cytoplasm of cells prepared by very rapid freezing. The suggestion was that most cytoplasmic proteins are in fact loosely associated with one another in this fibrillar network and are separate from the aqueous phase that contains only small molecules in true solution. If it exists, then it must certainly be very labile in cells where there is cytoplasmic flow and rapid organelle movement, now considered artifactual by most microscopists. (18 Nov 1997) |
| plantar venous network | A fine superficial venous network in the sole of the foot. Synonym: rete venosum plantare. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Purkinje's network | <cardiology, physiology> The network formed by Purkinje's fibres beneath the endocardium. (05 Mar 2000) |

| network | 1. A fabric of threads, cords, or wires crossing each other at certain intervals, and knotted or secured at the crossings, thus leaving spaces or meshes between them. 2. Any system of lines or channels interlacing or crossing like the fabric of a net; as, a network of veins; a network of railroads. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| subpapillary network | The capillary blood vessels in the deeper layers of the skin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal carpal network | A vascular network over the dorsal surface of the carpal joints, formed by anastomoses of branches of the anterior and posterior interosseous, and dorsal carpal branches of the radial and ulnar arteries. Synonym: rete carpi dorsale, rete carpi posterius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal venous network of foot | A superficial network of fine veins on the dorsum of the foot. Synonym: rete venosum dorsale pedis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dorsal venous network of hand | A superficial network of veins on the dorsum of the hand emptying into the cephalic and the basilic veins. Synonym: rete venosum dorsale manus. (05 Mar 2000) |
