| neuromuscular blocking agents | Drugs that interrupt transmission of nerve impulses at the skeletal neuromuscular junction. They can be of two types, competitive, stabilizing blockers (neuromuscular nondepolarising agents) or noncompetitive, depolarising agents (neuromuscular depolarising agents). Both prevent acetylcholine from triggering the muscle contraction and they are used as anaesthesia adjuvants, as relaxants during electroshock, in convulsive states, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| neuromuscular cell | A cell of a lower metazoan organism that is both sensitive and contractile. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuromuscular depolarising agents | Drugs that interrupt transmission at the skeletal neuromuscular junction by causing sustained depolarisation of the motor end plate. These agents are primarily used as adjuvants in surgical anaesthesia to cause skeletal muscle relaxation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neuromuscular junction | A chemical synapse between a motoneuron and a muscle fibre. Synonym: motor end plate. (18 Nov 1997) |
| neuromuscular nondepolarising agents | Drugs that interrupt transmission at the skeletal neuromuscular junction without causing depolarisation of the motor end plate. They prevent acetylcholine from triggering muscle contraction and are used as muscle relaxants during electroshock treatments, in convulsive states, and as anaesthesia adjuvants. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neuromuscular relaxant | An agent, e.g., curare or succinylcholine, that produces relaxation of striated muscle by interruption of transmission of nervous impulses at the myoneural junction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuromuscular spindle | A fusiform end organ in skeletal muscle in which afferent and a few efferent nerve fibres terminate; it contains from 3 to 10 striated muscle fibres (intrafusal fibres) that are much smaller than the ordinary muscle fibres, are separated from them by a capsule that encloses the organ, and are innervated by the thin axon of a gamma motoneuron (gamma motor fibre); the sensory endings that occur on the intrafusal fibres are either annulospiral or flower spray endings; this sensory end organ is particularly sensitive to passive stretch of the muscle in which it is enclosed. Synonym: Kuhne's spindle, muscle spindle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuromuscular system | The muscles of the body collectively and the nerves supplying them. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuromyasthenia | An obsolete term for muscular weakness, usually of emotional origin. Origin: neuro-+ G. Mys, muscle, + a-priv. + sthenos, strength (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuromyelitis | Neuritis combined with spinal cord inflammation. Synonym: myeloneuritis. Origin: neuro-+ G. Myelos, marrow, + -itis, inflammation (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuromyelitis optica | A demyelinating disease of the optic nerve chiasma, optic tract, and spinal cord characterised by acute bilateral optic neuritis and acute myelitis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neuromyopathy | 1. A disorder of muscle due to disorder of its nerve supply. 2. Simultaneous disorders of nerve and muscles. Origin: neuro-+ G. Mys, muscle, + pathos, disease (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuromyositis | An obsolete term for polymyositis. Origin: neuro-+ G. Mys, muscle, + -itis, inflammation (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuron | An excitable cell specialised for the transmission of electrical signals over long distances. Neurons receive input from sensory cells or other neurons and send output to muscles or other neurons. Neurons with sensory input are called sensory neurons, neurons with muscle outputs are called motoneurons, neurons that connect only with other neurons are called interneurons. Neurons connect with each other via synapses. Neurons can be the longest cells known, a single axon can be several metres in length. Although signals are usually sent via action potentials, some neurons are nonspiking. (18 Nov 1997) |
| neuronal | <anatomy> Pertaining to a neuron or neurons (= conducting cells of the nervous system). (18 Nov 1997) |

| neurocardiogenic syncope |
Vasovagal syncope (also vasodepressor syncope or neurocardiogenic syncope) is the most common cause of fainting ("syncope" in medical terminology). Although it is particularly common (both historically and stereotypically) among young women, it is seen across all ages and genders and in otherwise completely healthy people. It is triggered by a number of factors, including prolonged standing, alcohol, fatigue, hunger, and anxiety. ...

| neuroleptic |
The term antipsychotic is applied to a group of drugs used to treat psychosis. Common conditions with which antipsychotics might be used include schizophrenia, mania and delusional disorder, although antipsychotics might be used to counter psychosis associated with a wide range of other diagnoses. Antipsychotics also have some effects as mood stabilizers, leading to their occasional use in treating mood disorder (particularly bipolar disorder) even when no signs of psychosis are present. ...

| neurolinguistic programming |
Neuro-linguistic programming" (NLP) is a field concerned with studying and modeling human performance and excellence, and attempts to build transferable skill sets. It is based on the assumption that the unconscious mind might be "programmed" like a computer through the use of language, as well as through images, sounds, and other sensory input. ...
