| CMAP | compound muscle (or motor) action potential |
| CML | carboxymethyl lysine; cell-mediated lymphocytotoxicity; cell-mediated lympholysis; central motor lat... |
| CMSS | circulation, motor ability, sensation, and swelling; Council of Medical Specialty Societies |
| motor aphasia | A type of aphasia in which there is a deficit in speech production or language output, often accompanied by a deficit in communicating by writing, signs, etc. The patient is aware of his impairment. Synonym: anterior aphasia, ataxic aphasia, Broca's aphasia, expressive aphasia, nonfluent aphasia. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| motor apraxia | An inability to make movements or to use objects for the purpose intended. Synonym: cortical apraxia, innervation apraxia, limb-kinetic apraxia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| motor area | Area of the frontal lobe concerned with primary motor control. It lies anterior to the central sulcus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| motor ataxia | Ataxia developing upon attempting to perform coordinated muscular movements. Synonym: kinetic ataxia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| motor cell | A neuron whose axon innervates peripheral effector cell's such as muscle fibres or gland cell's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| motor cortex | Area of the frontal lobe concerned with primary motor control. It lies anterior to the central sulcus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| motor dapsone neuropathy | A peripheral neuropathy due to ingestion of 4,4-deaminodiphenylsulphone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| motor decussation | The intercrossing of the bundles of the pyramidal tracts at the lower border region of the medulla oblongata. Synonym: decussatio pyramidum, decussatio motoria, motor decussation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| motor endplate | The specialised postsynaptic region of a muscle cell. The motor endplate is immediately across the synaptic cleft from the presynaptic axon terminal. Among its anatomical specializations are junctional folds which harbor a high density of cholinergic receptors. See: neuromuscular junction (12 Dec 1998) |
| motor fibres | Nerve fibre's that transmit impulses that activate effector cells, e.g., in muscle or gland tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
| motor-generator | <physics> Device used to store energy by accelerating a rotating flywheel to high speeds, energy may be rapidly discharged and converted to shorter-pulse energy. (Used to power TFTR, the electric utility would be a little unhappy if TFTR were to suddenly draw its 30 MW+ of power at random intervals. (09 Oct 1997) |
| motor image | The image of body movements. (05 Mar 2000) |
| motor nerve | <anatomy, nerve> An efferent nerve conveying an impulse that excites muscular contraction; motor nerves in the autonomic nervous system also elicit secretions from glandular epithelia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| motor nerve of face | <anatomy, nerve> The facial nerve enervates the muscles of the face (facial expression). Lesion of the facial nerve cause a drooping to one side of the face, inability to wrinkle the forehead, inability to whistle, inability to close the eye and deviation of the mouth to the unaffected side. Synonym: cranial nerve VII. (27 Sep 1997) |
| motor neuron | Synonym for motoneuron. (18 Nov 1997) |
