| Tensilon test | <investigation> In this test the drug Tensilon is administered and the response in muscle strength is then assessed. This test is used to help diagnose myasthenia gravis. In myasthenic patients (and myasthenic crisis), Tensilon administration will result in a temporary improvement in muscle strength. In the case of cholinergic crisis (too much anticholinesterase medication), Tensilon will exaggerate the weakness. (13 Jan 1998) |
| tensin | <cell biology> Actin binding component of focal adhesions and submembranous cytoskeleton. Has SH2 domain and can be tyrosine phosphorylated, speculated that it may lin k signalling systems with the cytoskeleton. (18 Nov 1997) |
| tensio active | Having an effect on surface tension. (18 Nov 1997) |
| tensiometer | A device for measuring tension. Origin: L. Tensio, tension, + G. Metron, measure (05 Mar 2000) |
| tension | 1. The act of stretching. 2. The condition of being stretched or strained, the degree to which anything is stretched or strained. 3. <physics> Voltage. 4. <chemistry> The partial pressure of a gas in a fluid, for example, of oxygen in blood. Origin: L. Tensio, Gr. Tonos (13 Jan 1998) |

| tension headache | <neurology> A benign form of headache that results from the painful spasm (muscle tightness) and inflammation of muscles of the head and neck. Tension headache is one of the most common forms of headache. Spasm and contraction of the head and neck muscles may occur in response to fatigue, overuse, eye strain, excessive smoking, stress, anxiety or depression. Sleeping in an abnormal position or prolonged work involving immobilisation of the neck in one position (typing, computers, etc.) are considered common triggers. Exercising and stretching the muscles of the head and neck can reduce the occurrence of muscle tension headaches. (13 Jan 1998) |
| tension pneumothorax | A variety of spontaneous pneumothorax in which air enters the pleural cavity and is trapped during expiration; intrathoracic pressure builds to values higher than atmospheric pressure, compresses the lung, and may displace the mediastinum and its structures toward the opposite side, with consequent disadvantageous effects on blood flow. Synonym: pressure pneumothorax, valvular pneumothorax. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tension suture | <surgery> A heavy reinforcing suture placed deep within the muscles and fasciae of the abdominal wall to relieve tension on the primary suture line and thus obviate postoperative wound disruption. Synonym: tension suture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tension, arterial | The pressure of the blood within an artery, the arterial pressure. Also called the intra-arterial pressure. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tension, intraocular | The pressure within the eye. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tension, intravenous | The pressure of the blood within a vein, the venous pressure. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tensor | 1. <anatomy> A muscle that stretches a part, or renders it tense. 2. <geometry> The ratio of one vector to another in length, no regard being had to the direction of the two vectors; so called because considered as a stretching factor in changing one vector into another. See Versor. Origin: NL. See Tension. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
