| muscle relaxation | That phase of a muscle twitch during which a muscle returns to a resting position. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| progressive muscle relaxation | A cognitive-behavioural strategy in which muscles are alternately tensed and then relaxed in a systematic fashion. (16 Dec 1997) |
| spin-lattice relaxation | In nuclear magnetic resonance, the return of the magnetic dipoles of the hydrogen nuclei (magnetization vector) to equilibrium parallel to the magnetic field, after they have been flipped 90 |
| spin-spin relaxation | In nuclear magnetic resonance, the return of the magnetic dipoles of the hydrogen nuclei (magnetization vector) to equilibrium parallel to the magnetic field, after they have been flipped 90 |
| isometric relaxation | Decrease in tension of a muscle while the length remains constant due to fixation of the ends. (05 Mar 2000) |
| isometric relaxation period | Early ventricular diastole beginning with closure of the aortic and pulmonic valves and preceding opening of the atrioventricular valves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| isovolumetric relaxation | That part of the cardiac cycle between the time of aortic valve closure and mitral opening, during which the ventricular muscle decreases its tension without lengthening so that ventricular volume remains unaltered; the heart is never precisely isovolumetric (vs. Isovolumic) except during long diastoles with a midiastolic period of diastasis. Synonym: isovolumetric relaxation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| isovolumic relaxation | That part of the cardiac cycle between the time of aortic valve closure and mitral opening, during which the ventricular muscle decreases its tension without lengthening so that ventricular volume remains unaltered; the heart is never precisely isovolumetric (vs. Isovolumic) except during long diastoles with a midiastolic period of diastasis. Synonym: isovolumetric relaxation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endothelium derived relaxation factor | <biochemistry> This compound is produced from L arginine by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase. Acts as a potent vasorelaxant via elevation of intracellular cGMP in vascular smooth muscle. Synthesis of nitric oxide is not confined to endothelium, isoforms of nitric oxide synthase are also found in brain, neutrophils and platelets. Synonym: endothelium derived relaxation factor. Acronym: NO (29 Dec 1997) |
| transverse relaxation | In nuclear magnetic resonance, the rapid decay of the nuclear magnetization vector at right angles to the magnetic field after the 90 |
| longitudinal relaxation | In nuclear magnetic resonance, the return of the magnetic dipoles of the hydrogen nuclei (magnetization vector) to equilibrium parallel to the magnetic field, after they have been flipped 90 |
