| starling | 1. <ornithology> Any passerine bird belonging to Sturnus and allied genera. The European starling (Sturnus vulgaris) is dark brown or greenish black, with a metallic gloss, and spotted with yellowish white. It is a sociable bird, and builds about houses, old towers, etc. Called also stare, and starred. The pied starling of India is Sternopastor contra. 2. <zoology> A California fish; the rock trout. 3. A structure of piles driven round the piers of a bridge for protection and support; called also sterling. Rose-coloured starling. Origin: OE. Sterlyng, a dim. Of OE. Stare, AS. Staer; akin to AS. Stearn, G. Star, staar, OHG. Stara, Icel. Starri, stari, Sw. Stare, Dan. Staer, L. Sturnus. Cf. Stare a starling. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| Starling's curve | A graph in which cardiac output or stroke volume is plotted against mean atrial or ventricular end-diastolic pressure; with increasing venous return and atrial pressure the output proportionately increases until further increments overload the heart and the output falls. Synonym: Frank-Starling curve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Starling's hypothesis | The principle that net filtration through capillary membranes is proportional to the transmembrane hydrostatic pressure difference minus the transmembrane oncotic pressure difference; although well established, it is called Starling's hypothesis to distinguish it from Starling's law of the heart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Starling's law | The energy liberated by the heart when it contracts is a function of the length of its muscle fibres at the end of diastole. Synonym: Starling's law. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Starling's reflex | Tapping the volar surfaces of the fingers causes flexion of the fingers; analogous to Rossolimo's reflex, for the toes. (05 Mar 2000) |

| Starling curve |
a graphic representation of cardiac output, or other measure of ventricular performance, as a function of ventricular filling for a given level of contractility; as atrial pressure and venous return increase, cardiac output initially increases proportionately, then plateaus and decreases. Called also ventricular function c.

| Starling |
an extension at the upstream end or at both ends of a pier that is built with battered surfaces, forming a cutwater to divide and deflect waters and floating debris. When on the downstream end, the starling functions to reduce crosscurrents and swirl and eddy actions that produce sand, silt, and debris deposits
