| contraction band | A microscopic change in myocardial cells in which excessive contraction, associated with elevated intracellular calcium and serum norepinephrine, causes the formation of transverse amorphous band's in the fibres which are then incapable of contracting again. Synonym: contraction band necrosis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| coronary band | A region of the pododerm; a prominent ridge of corium and underlying tela subcutanea at the top of the hoof from which most of the wall of the hoof grows. Synonym: corium coronae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| h band | <cell biology> The H band is an area within muscle tissue which is light when stained and consists only of myosin fibres (and no actin fibres). The H band is at the centre of each muscle sarcomere. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Schilling's band cell | <pathology> Immature neutrophils released from the bone marrow reserve in response to acute demand. (18 Nov 1997) |
| His' band | The bundle of modified cardiac muscle fibres that begins at the atrioventricular node as the trunk of the atrioventricular bundle and passes through the right atrioventricular fibrous ring to the membranous part of the interventricular septum where the trunk divides into two branches, the right crus of the atrioventricular bundle and the left crus of the atrioventricular bundle; the two crura ramify in the subendocardium of their respective ventricles. Synonym: fasciculus atrioventricularis, atrioventricular band, Gaskell's bridge, His' band, His' bundle, bundle of His, Keith's bundle, Kent's bundle, Kent-His bundle, ventriculonector.

| silastic band | A small silastic ring placed around each fallopian tube to achieve permanent sterilization. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Soret band | The absorption band of all porphyrins at about 400 nm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| I band | <cell biology> The isotropic band of the sarcomere of striated muscle, where only thin filaments are found. Unlike the A band, the I band can vary in width depending upon the state of contraction of the muscle when fixed. (18 Nov 1997) |
| iliotibial band | A fibrous reinforcement of the fascia lata on the lateral surface of the thigh, extending from the crest of the ilium to the lateral condyle of the tibia. Synonym: tractus iliotibialis, iliotibial band, Maissiat's band. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oligoclonal band | Small discrete bands in the gamma globulin region of the spinal fluid electrophoresis, indicating local central nervous system production of IgG; bands are frequently seen in patients with multiple sclerosis but can also be found in other diseases of the central nervous system including syphilis, sarcoidosis, and chronic infection or inflammation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| orthodontic band | A thin strip of metal closely adapted to the crown of a tooth to which wires may be attached for tooth movement. (05 Mar 2000) |
| elastic band fixation | The stabilization of fractured segments of the jaws by means of intermaxillary elastics applied to splints or appliances. (05 Mar 2000) |
| erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.1 | See Elliptocytosis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| uncus band of Giacomini | A slender whitish band, the attenuated anterior continuation of the dentate gyrus (fascia dentata), crossing transversally the surface of the recurved part of the uncus gyri parahippocampalis. Synonym: band of Giacomini, cauda fasciae dentatae, frenulum of Giacomini, tail of dentate gyrus. (05 Mar 2000) |
