| electrocardiographic wave | <cardiology, physiology> A deflection of special shape and extent in the electrocardiogram representing the electric activity of a portion of the heart muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| electromagnetic wave | <physics> A wave of electric and magnetic fields that can move through space. Particles which make up the waves are called photons. (09 Oct 1997) |
| electrostatic wave | <radiobiology> Longitudinal oscillations appearing in a plasma due to a perturbation of electric neutrality. For a cold unmagnetised plasma, or at large wavelengths, the frequency of these waves is by definition the plasma frequency. (09 Oct 1997) |
| transverse wave | <radiobiology> Waves in which the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular (transverse) to the direction of the wave propagation. Examples include plucked strings and electromagnetic waves in free space or air. (09 Oct 1997) |
| T wave | The next deflection in the electrocardiogram following the QRS complex; represents ventricular repolarization. (05 Mar 2000) |
| excitation wave | A wave of altered electrical conditions that is propagated along a muscle fibre preparatory to its contraction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| y wave | The wave in the atrial and venous pulse curves reflecting rapid filling of the ventricles just after the atrioventricular valves open. (05 Mar 2000) |
| U wave | A positive wave following the T wave of the electrocardiogram. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fluid wave | A sign of free fluid in the abdominal cavity; percussion on one side of the abdomen transmits a wave that is felt on the opposite side. (05 Mar 2000) |
| free wave | <radiobiology> A wave (for example, electromagnetic) traveling in a homogeneous infinite medium (no boundary conditions). (09 Oct 1997) |
| longitudinal wave | <physics> Waves where the variation of the field is partially or totally in the direction of propagation (parallel to wavennumber, k [a vector]). Examples include sound waves and Langmuir waves. Contrasted with transverse waves, where the variation is perpendicular to the direction of propagation, such as light waves. (13 Nov 1997) |
| anaesthetic shock | Shock produced by the administration of anaesthetic drug(s), usually in relative overdosage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anaphylactic shock | <immunology> A serious, often life-threatening allergic reaction that is characterised by low blood pressure, shock (poor tissue perfusion) and difficulty breathing. (27 Sep 1997) |
| anaphylactoid shock | A reaction that is similar to anaphylactic shock, but which does not require the incubation period characteristic of induced sensitivity (anaphylaxis); it is unrelated to antigen-antibody reactions. Synonym: anaphylactoid crisis, pseudoanaphylactic shock. (05 Mar 2000) |
| break shock | The shock produced by breaking a constant current passing through the body. (05 Mar 2000) |
