What's the difference between annulet and bandelet?

Annulet


Definition:

  • (n.) A little ring.
  • (n.) A small, flat fillet, encircling a column, etc., used by itself, or with other moldings. It is used, several times repeated, under the Doric capital.
  • (n.) A little circle borne as a charge.
  • (n.) A narrow circle of some distinct color on a surface or round an organ.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Binding of the ATP analog is shown to convert the enzyme to a circular clamp with an annulet, through which only a linear DNA can pass; subsequent circularization of the bound linear DNA forms a salt-stable catenane between the protein circular clamp and the DNA ring.
  • (2) Desmin immunoreactivity was noted also at the Z-bands of striated annulets, within areas of disordered myofibrils, such as sarcoplasmic masses, and in atrophic muscle fibers.
  • (3) Periarteriolar [H+] and [K+] were also measured because most large arterioles are in close proximity to venules such that the biochemical status of the periarteriolar tissue could be influenced by a large decrease in O2 availability in the annulet of tissue surrounding the venules.

Bandelet


Definition:

  • (n.) Alt. of Bandlet

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The latter refers to the Willis atypical polygons, which determine important atipies in the topographical distribution of the chiasma's arteries and optical bandelets.
