| chromosome band | A region of darker or contrasting staining across the width of a chromosome; the pattern of band's is characteristic for most chromosomes. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| Clado's band | The suspensory ligament of the ovary. (05 Mar 2000) |
| moderator band | One of the trabeculae carneae in the right ventricle of the heart; it carries part of the right branch of the A-V bundle from the septum to the anterior papillary muscle on the opposite wall of the ventricle. Synonym: trabecula septomarginalis, moderator band, Reil's band. (05 Mar 2000) |
| molecular sequence data | Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as genbank, european molecular biology laboratory (embl), national biomedical research foundation (nbrf), or other sequence repositories. (12 Dec 1998) |
| coding sequence | The portion of DNA that codes for transcription of messenger RNA. See: exon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| monotonic sequence | A sequence in which each value in a set is greater than the preceding value. (05 Mar 2000) |
| complementary sequence | <molecular biology> Nucleicacid base sequences that can form a double-stranded structure bymatching base pairs, the complementary sequence to G-T-A-C is C-A-T-G. (09 Oct 1997) |
| consensus sequence | Of a series of related DNA, RNA or protein sequences, the sequence that reflects the most common choice of base or amino acid at each position. Areas of particularly good agreement often represent conserved functional domains. The generation of consensus sequences has been subjected to intensive mathematical analysis. (18 Nov 1997) |
| conserved sequence | <molecular biology> A base sequence in a DNA molecule (or an amino acid sequence in a protein) that has remained essentially unchanged throughout evolution. (10 Nov 1998) |
| 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) |
| contraction band necrosis | 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.
