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:
“While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.”
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 2:6,7.
