| excitation wave | A wave of altered electrical conditions that is propagated along a muscle fibre preparatory to its contraction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| food dispensers, automatic | Mechanical food dispensing machines. (12 Dec 1998) |
| law of excitation | A motor nerve responds, not to the absolute value, but to the alteration of value from moment to moment, of the electric current; i.e., rate of change of intensity of the current is a factor in determining its effectiveness. Synonym: Du Bois-Reymond's law. (05 Mar 2000) |
| law of polar excitation | A given segment of a nerve is irritated by the development of catelectrotonus and the disappearance of anelectrotonus, but the reverse does not hold; i.e., excitation occurs at the cathode when the circuit is closed and at the anode when it is opened. Synonym: Pfluger's law. (05 Mar 2000) |
