| Simonart's bands | The strands of amniotic tissue adherent to the embryo or foetus; they may cause constriction of embryonic limbs. See: congenital amputation. Synonym: amniotic adhesions, annular band, constriction ring, Simonart's bands, Simonart's ligaments, Simonart's threads, Streeter's bands. (05 Mar 2000) |

| SLS collagen | <protein> Abnormal packing pattern of collagen molecules formed if ATP is added to acidic collagen solutions, in which lateral aggregates of molecules are produced. Each aggregate is 300 nm long and the molecules are all in register. If SLS aggregates are overlapped with a quarter stagger, the 67 nm banding pattern of normal fibrils is reconstituted. (19 Jan 1998) |
| Streeter's bands | The strands of amniotic tissue adherent to the embryo or foetus; they may cause constriction of embryonic limbs. See: congenital amputation. Synonym: amniotic adhesions, annular band, constriction ring, Simonart's bands, Simonart's ligaments, Simonart's threads, Streeter's bands. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dense metaphyseal bands | <radiology> Normal variant, stress lines, heavy metal poisoning, treated rickets, scurvy, hypervitaminosis D (12 Dec 1998) |
| Q bands | <cell biology> The alternating bright and dull fluorescent bands seen on chromosomes under ultraviolet light after the chromosomes are stained with quinacrine. The Q stands for quinacrine, an agent used as an antimalarial agent and, in the laboratory, as a fluorescent dye. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Essick's cell bands | Groups of cells in the developing rhombencephalon which migrate in two bands, one of which eventually forms the inferior olivary nucleus and the arcuate nucleus, and the other the pontine nuclei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| type I collagen | The most abundant collagen, which forms large well-organised fibrils having high tensile strength. (05 Mar 2000) |
| type II collagen | Collagen unique to cartilage, nucleus pulposis, notochord, and vitreous body; it forms as thin highly glycosylated fibrils. (05 Mar 2000) |
| type III collagen | Collagen characteristic of reticular fibres. (05 Mar 2000) |
| type IV collagen | A less distinctly fibrillar form of collagen characteristic of basement membranes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| longitudinal bands of cruciform ligament | <anatomy> Ligamentous slips forming the "upright" or vertical beam of the cruciform ligament. Synonym: fasciculi longitudinales ligamenti cruciformis atlantis. (05 Mar 2000) |
