| Ranvier's disks | Tactile nerve endings, of cupped disklike form, in the skin. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Ranvier, Louis | <person> French pathologist, 1835-1922. See: Ranvier's crosses, Ranvier's disks, Ranvier's node, Ranvier's plexus, Ranvier's segment. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Ranvier, Louise Antoine | <person> Was a Physician and Histologist. Professor in the College of France, Paris. Ranvier's Nodes - short specialised interruptions in the myelin sheath occurring along myelinated nerve fibres. Responsible for saltatory conduction. Lived: 1835-1922. B. Lyons, 1835, d. 1922. (05 Dec 1998) |
| Ranvier's crosses | Black or brown figures in the shape of a cross, marking Ranvier's nodes in the longitudinal section of a nerve stained with silver nitrate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ranvier's node | A short interval in the myelin sheath of a nerve fibre, occurring between each two successive segments of the myelin sheath; at the node, the axon is invested only by short, finger-like cytoplasmic processes of the two neighboring Schwann cells or, in the central nervous system, oligodendroglia cells. See: myelin sheath. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ranvier's nodes | Regularly spaced gaps in the myelin sheaths of peripheral axons. Ranvier's nodes allow saltatory conduction, that is, jumping of impulses from node to node, which is faster and more energetically favourable than continuous conduction. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Ranvier's plexus | A subbasal stroma plexus of the cornea. See: stroma plexus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ranvier's segment | The portion of a myelinated nerve fibre between two successive nodes. Synonym: interannular segment, internode, Ranvier's segment, segmentum internodale. (05 Mar 2000) |
| node of Ranvier | <anatomy, physiology> A region of exposed neuronal plasma membrane in a myelinated axon. Nodes contain very high concentrations of voltage gated ion channels and are the site of propagation of action potentials by saltatory conduction. (18 Nov 1997) |
| A disks | The dark-staining anisotropic cross striations in the myofibrils of muscle fibres, comprising regions of overlapping thick (myosin) and thin (actin) filaments. Synonym: A disks, anisotropic disks, Q bands, Q disks. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anisotropic disks | The dark-staining anisotropic cross striations in the myofibrils of muscle fibres, comprising regions of overlapping thick (myosin) and thin (actin) filaments. Synonym: A disks, anisotropic disks, Q bands, Q disks. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bowman's disks | Disk's resulting from transverse segmentation of striated muscular fibre treated with weak acids, certain alkaline solutions, or freezing. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rod disks | Membranous disk's of flattened sacs about 14 nm thick that occur in the outer segment of rods of the retina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| compact disks | Computer disks storing data with a maximum reduction of space and bandwidth. The compact size reduces cost of transmission and storage. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cone disks | Membranous disk's of flattened sacs about 14 nm thick that occur in the outer segment of cones of the retina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sandpaper disks | Disk's of paper coated with various grits of silica; used to abrade or smooth the surface of teeth or dental materials. (05 Mar 2000) |
