| 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) |
