| lesser circulation | The circulation of blood through the lungs. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| liver circulation | The circulation of blood through the vessels of the liver. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymph circulation | The slow passage of lymph through the lymphatic vessels and glands. (05 Mar 2000) |
| activated clotting time | The most common test used for coagulation time in cardiovascular surgery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| activated partial thromboplastin time | The time needed for plasma to form a fibrin clot following the addition of calcium and a phospholipid reagent; used to evaluate the intrinsic clotting system. (05 Mar 2000) |
| A-H conduction time | Forward conduction of the cardiac impulse from atria to ventricles via the A-V node or any bypass tract, represented in the electrocardiogram by the P-R interval. P-H conduction time is from the onset of the P wave to the first high frequency component of the His bundle electrogram (normally 119 ± 38 msec); A-H conduction time is from the onset of the first high frequency component of the atrial electrogram to the first high frequency component of the His bundle electrogram (normally 92 ± 38 msec); P-A conduction time is from the onset of the P wave to the onset of the atrial electrogram (normally 27 ± 18 msec). (05 Mar 2000) |
| association time | Time elasping between a stimulus and the verbalised response to it. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biologic time | The concept that our appreciation of time varies with age and is governed by the neural organization of the individual; it obeys a logarithmic rather than an arithmetic law. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bleeding time | <haematology> A test which measures the time it takes for small blood vessels to close off and bleeding to stop. Abnormal results can be seen in those with congenital or acquired platelet function disorders or thrombocytopenia. (27 Sep 1997) |
| P-A conduction time | See: atrioventricular conduction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| generation time | <cell biology> Time taken for a cell population to double in numbers and thus equivalent to the average length of the cell cycle. (18 Nov 1997) |
| reaction time | The time from the onset of a stimulus until the organism responds. (12 Dec 1998) |
| real-time ultrasonography | Rapid serial ultrasound images produced using a phased array or scanning transducer; produces a video display of organ motion, such as heart valve or foetal motion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| recognition time | The interval between the application of a stimulus and the recognition of its nature. (05 Mar 2000) |
| partial thromboplastin time | Test of the intrinsic (factors viii, ix, xi, and xii) and common (fibrinogen, prothrombin, factors v and x) pathways of coagulation in which a mixture of plasma and phospholipid platelet substitute (e.g., crude cephalins, soybean phosphatides) is recalcified and the time required for the appearance of fibrin strands measured. Activation may be provided by contact with the glass tube or exposure to activators (e.g., ellagic acid, particulate silicates such as diatomaceous earth or kaolin) before addition of the calcium chloride. It is used as a screening test and to monitor heparin therapy. (12 Dec 1998) |
