| circular layer of muscular coat | The inner, circular layer of the smooth muscle of the muscular coat. Nomina Anatomica lists circular layers of muscular coats (stratum circulare tunicae muscularis...) of the following: 1) colon (... Coli ); 2) rectum (... Recti ); 3) small intestine (... Intestini tenuis ); 4) stomach (... Gastrici ). Synonym: stratum circulare tunicae muscularis gastricae, stratum circulare tunicae. (05 Mar 2000) |

| circular layer of tympanic membrane | Circular fibres deep to the radiate layer of the membrane that are more abundant near the periphery; not present in the pars flaccida. Synonym: circular layer of tympanic membrane. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reflex detrusor contraction | Normal coordinated function of the bladder with sustained contractions of the bladder matched by simultaneous relaxation of the sphincteric outlet mechanisms to empty the bladder. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus detrusor urinae | The muscular coat of the bladder. Synonym: musculus detrusor urinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| detrusor | A muscle that has the action of expelling a substance. Origin: L. Detrudo, to drive away (05 Mar 2000) |
| detrusor compliance | Change in volume of bladder for a given change in pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| detrusor hyperreflexia | detrusor instability |
| detrusor muscle of urinary bladder | The muscular coat of the bladder. Synonym: musculus detrusor urinae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| detrusor pressure | That component of intravesical pressure created by the tension (active and passive) exerted by the bladder wall; the transmural pressure across the bladder wall estimated by subtracting abdominal pressure from intravesical pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| detrusor sphincter dyssynergia | A disturbance of the normal relationship between bladder (detrusor) contraction and sphincter relaxation during voluntary or involuntary voiding efforts. (05 Mar 2000) |
| detrusor stability | A detrusor that accommodates increasing bladder volume without significant increase in detrusor pressure and without involuntary detrusor contraction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| circular amputation | Amputation performed by a circular incision through the skin, the muscles being similarly divided higher up, and the bone higher still. Synonym: guillotine amputation, linear amputation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| circular anastomosis | Anastomosis performed after cutting each structure to be joined in a plane vertical to the ultimate flow through the structures. (05 Mar 2000) |
| circular bandage | One encircling an extremity, or a portion of it, or the trunk. (05 Mar 2000) |
| circular dichroism | <chemistry> Differential absorption of right hand and left hand circularly polarized light resulting from molecular asymmetry involving a chromophore group. Circular dichroism is used to study the conformation of proteins in solution. (18 Nov 1997) |
