| meniscus | Origin: NL, from Gr, dim. Of mhnh the moon. 1. A crescent. 2. <optics> A lens convex on one side and concave on the other. 3. <anatomy, ornithology> An interarticular synovial cartilage or membrane; especially, one of the intervertebral synovial disks in some parts of the vertebral column of birds. Converging meniscus, Diverging meniscus. See Lens. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| meniscus articularis | A crescent-shaped intra-articular fibrocartilage found in certain joints. Synonym: meniscus articularis, articular crescent, intra-articular cartilage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| meniscus lateralis | A flat disc-shaped ligament which stabilises and supports the outer aspect of the knee joint. Not as commonly injured as the medical meniscus ligament in knee sprains. (27 Sep 1997) |
| meniscus lens | A lens having a spherical concave curve on one side and a spherical convex curve on the other. Synonym: meniscus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| meniscus medialis | <anatomy> A flat disc-shaped ligament which stabilises and supports the inner aspect of the knee joint. Commonly injured in knee sprains. (27 Sep 1997) |
| meniscus tactus | A specialised tactile sensory nerve ending in the epidermis, characterised by a terminal cuplike expansion of an intraepidermal axon in contact with the base of a single modified keratinocyte. Synonym: meniscus tactus, Merkel's corpuscle, Merkel's tactile cell, Merkel's tactile disk, tactile disk. (05 Mar 2000) |
| periscopic meniscus | A lens designed to correct spherical aberration and coma (q.v.). Synonym: periscopic meniscus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| converging meniscus | A convexoconcave lens in which the power of the convexity exceeds that of the concavity. Synonym: positive meniscus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| positive meniscus | A convexoconcave lens in which the power of the convexity exceeds that of the concavity. Synonym: positive meniscus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| negative meniscus | A convexoconcave lens in which the power of the concavity exceeds that of the convexity. Synonym: negative meniscus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diverging meniscus | A convexoconcave lens in which the power of the concavity exceeds that of the convexity. Synonym: negative meniscus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tactile meniscus | A specialised tactile sensory nerve ending in the epidermis, characterised by a terminal cuplike expansion of an intraepidermal axon in contact with the base of a single modified keratinocyte. Synonym: meniscus tactus, Merkel's corpuscle, Merkel's tactile cell, Merkel's tactile disk, tactile disk. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lateral meniscus | A flat disc-shaped ligament which stabilises and supports the outer aspect of the knee joint. Not as commonly injured as the medical meniscus ligament in knee sprains. (27 Sep 1997) |
| action current | An electrical current induced in muscle fibres when they are effectively stimulated; normally it is followed by contraction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alternating current | Electrical current which alternates direction periodically. (For instance, household electric current is AC alternating at 60 oscillations/sec (60 Hertz) in the United States, and 50 Hertz in many other countries.) Acronym: AC (09 Oct 1997) |
