| delayed reaction experiment | A method of measuring memory: a stimulus is presented and removed before the organism is permitted to respond to it; the interval during which the stimulus is absent, providing the organism responds correctly, is an indication of the length of memory. (05 Mar 2000) |

| delayed rectifier channel | <physiology> The potassium selective ion channels of axons, so called because they change the potassium conductance with a delay after a voltage step. The name is used to denote any axon like K channel. Various roles for example regulation of pacemaker potentials, generation of bursts of action potentials or generation of long plateaus on action potentials. (18 Nov 1997) |
| delayed reflex | A reflex in which a little time elapses between stimulus and response. See: trace conditioned reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| delayed sensation | A sensation that is not perceived until the lapse of an appreciable interval following the application of the stimulus. General sensation, a sensation referred to the body as a whole rather than to any particular part. (05 Mar 2000) |
| delayed suture | A suturing of a wound after an interval of days. (05 Mar 2000) |
| delayed type hypersensitivity | <immunology> Hypersensitivity (increased reaction by the body to a foreign substance such as an antigen or allergen) that does not appear until 24 to 48 hours after the body is exposed to the foreign substance. (09 Oct 1997) |
| ovum implantation, delayed | Delay of embryonal development whereby the blastocyst remains in the uterine cavity for a variable period of time before attaching to the endometrium and continuing its development. (12 Dec 1998) |

| muscular sense | The sensation felt in muscle when it is contracting; awareness of movement or activity in muscles or joints; sense of position or movement mediated in large part by the posterior columns and medial lemniscus. See: bathyesthesia. Synonym: deep sensibility, kinesthetic sense, mesoblastic sensibility, muscular sense, myoesthesis, myoesthesia. Origin: G. Mys, muscle, + aisthesis, sensation (05 Mar 2000) |

| posture sense | The ability to recognise the position in which a limb is passively placed, with the eyes closed. Synonym: position sense. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pressure sense | The faculty of discriminating various degrees of pressure on the surface. Synonym: baresthesia, piesesthesia, weight sense. (05 Mar 2000) |
