| 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) |
|---|
| 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 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) |
| abdominal pressure | Pressure surrounding the bladder; estimated from rectal, gastric, or intraperitoneal pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| absolute pressure | Pressure measured with respect to zero pressure. Compare: gauge pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acoustic pressure | In ultrasound, the instantaneous value of the total pressure minus the ambient pressure; unit is pascal (Pa). (05 Mar 2000) |
| air pressure | The force per unit area that the air exerts on any surface in contact with it. Primarily used for articles pertaining to air pressure within a closed environment. (12 Dec 1998) |
| atmospheric pressure | The pressure at any point in an atmosphere due solely to the weight of the atmospheric gases above the point concerned. (12 Dec 1998) |
| back pressure | Pressure exerted upstream in the circulation as a result of obstruction to forward flow, as when congestion in the pulmonary circulation results from stenosis of the mitral valve or failure of the left ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| back-pressure renal atrophy | <radiology> Caliectasis without obstruction, due to repeated episodes of obstruction, gradual loss of renal pyramids (12 Dec 1998) |
