| therapeutic electrode | A small electrode whose exciting effect is used to stimulate or record potentials from a localised area. Synonym: exciting electrode, localizing electrode, therapeutic electrode. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrode | <chemistry> Any terminal that conducts an electric current into or away from various conducting substances in a circuit (such as the anode or cathode of a battery). (09 Jan 1998) |
| electrode catheter ablation | A method of ablating the site of origin of arrhythmias whereby high energy electric shocks are delivered by intravascular catheters. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrode knife | A blade-shaped electrical instrument used to cut tissues by means of a high-frequency electrical current. (05 Mar 2000) |
| enzyme electrode | A type of biosensor. An enzyme is immobilised on the surface of an electrode, and when the enzyme catalyses its reaction, electrons are transferred from the reactant to the electrode, and a current is generated, which can then be measured. (14 Nov 1997) |
| exciting electrode | A small electrode whose exciting effect is used to stimulate or record potentials from a localised area. Synonym: exciting electrode, localizing electrode, therapeutic electrode. (05 Mar 2000) |
| exploring electrode | An electrode placed on or near an excitable tissue; in unipolar electrocardiography, the electrode is placed on the chest in the region of the heart and paired with an indifferent electrode. (05 Mar 2000) |
| localizing electrode | A small electrode whose exciting effect is used to stimulate or record potentials from a localised area. Synonym: exciting electrode, localizing electrode, therapeutic electrode. (05 Mar 2000) |
