| focal dermal hypoplasia | A genetic skin disease characterised by hypoplasia of the dermis, herniations of fat, and hand anomalies. It is found exclusively in females and transmitted as an x-linked dominant trait. (12 Dec 1998) |
| arteriolar network | A vascular network formed by anastomoses between minute arteries just before they become capillaries. Synonym: rete arteriosum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular network | A vascular rete in the neighborhood of a joint, where such arrangements are common, enabling a collateral circulation by which blood will be supplied distal to the joint regardless of compromises resulting from joint position. Synonym: circulus articularis vasculosus, rete vasculosum articulare, articular network. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: circulus articularis vasculosus, rete vasculosum articulare, articular network. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articular vascular network of elbow | Vascular networks in the region of the elbow, composed of anastomoses between branches of the radial and middle collateral, superior and inferior ulnar collateral, radial recurrent, interosseous recurrent, and recurrent ulnar arteries. Synonym: rete articulare cubiti. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
| 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) |

| 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) |
| social network therapy | A type of therapy involving the assembling of all persons emotionally or functionally important to the patient for the purpose of affecting behavioural change in the patient. (05 Mar 2000) |
