In physiology, isotropic bands are skeletal muscle cells (a.k.a. muscle fibers) that form the light bands (I bands) that contribute to the striated pattern of the cells.
Isotropic bands indicate the behavior of polarized light as it passes through I bands.
Famous quotes containing the word bands:
“With girls, everything looks great on the surface. But beware of drawers that won’t open. They contain a three-month supply of dirty underwear, unwashed hose, and rubber bands with blobs of hair in them.”
—Erma Bombeck (20th century)
