| electrogenic | <physiology> Refers to a substance that contributes to an electrical potential across a membrane. Origin: Gr. Gennan = to produce (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| electrogenic pump | <physiology> Ion pump that generates net charge flow as a result of its activity. The sodium potassium exchange pump transports two potassium ions inward across the cell membrane for each three sodiums transported outward. This produces a net outward current that contributes to the internal negativity of the cell. (05 Jan 1998) |
| electrogeny | <physiology> A term sometimes applied to the effects (tetanus) produced in the muscles of the limbs, when a current of electricity is passed along the spinal cord or nerves. Origin: Electro- + Gr. To produce. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| electrogram | 1. Any record on paper or film made by an electrical event. 2. In electrophysiology, a recording taken directly from the surface by unipolar or bipolar leads. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrograph | <investigation> A mark, record, or tracing, made by the action of electricity. (03 Mar 1998) |
| electrographic seizure | A seizure detected by EEG, which has no clinical correlate, i.e., an EEG seizure alone or an electrical seizure alone. Synonym: electrographic seizure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrohemostasis | Arrest of haemorrhage by means of an electrocautery. Origin: electro-+ G. Haima, blood, + stasis, halt (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrohydraulic shock wave lithotripsy | Destruction of calculi (urinary tract or other) by fragmentation using shock waves sent transcutaneously. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrohysterograph | Instrument that records uterine electrical activity. Origin: electro-+ G. Hystera, womb, + grapho, to write (05 Mar 2000) |
| electroimmunodiffusion | An immunochemical method that combines electrophoretic separation with immunodiffusion by incorporating antibody into the support medium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrokinetics | <study> That branch of electrical science which treats of electricity in motion. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| electrokymogram | An obsolete technique for making a graphic record of the heart's movements produced by the electrokymograph. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrokymograph | An obsolete apparatus for recording, from changes in the X-ray silhouette, the movements of the heart and great vessels; consists of a fluoroscope, X-ray tube, and a photomultiplier tube together with an electrocardiograph. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrokymography | Radiographic technique combining a photoelectric recording system with fluoroscopy. It is used especially with electrocardiography to study heart motion. (12 Dec 1998) |
| electrolarynx | A battery-operated instrument that makes a humming sound to help laryngectomees talk. (12 Dec 1998) |
