|---|---|
| galvanic | Of or pertaining to, or exhibiting the phenomena of, galvanism; employing or producing electrical currents. <physics> Galvanic battery, the voltaic pile. See Voltaic. Origin: From Galvani, a professor of physiology at Bologna, on account of his connection (about 1780) with the discovery of dynamical or current electricity: cf. F. Galvanique.

| galvanic cautery | An obsolete term for electrocautery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| galvanic cell | <chemistry> See voltaic cell (09 Jan 1998) |
| galvanic current | See: direct current, galvanism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| galvanic nystagmus | Nystagmus involving galvanic stimulation of the labyrinth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| galvanic skin reaction | A change in electrical resistance of the skin, occurring in emotion and in certain other conditions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| galvanic skin reflex | A change in electrical resistance of the skin, occurring in emotion and in certain other conditions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| galvanic skin response | A change in electrical resistance of the skin, occurring in emotion and in certain other conditions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| galvanic threshold | The minimal strength of an electrical stimulus of indefinite duration that is able to cause excitation of a tissue, e.g., muscle or nerve. See: chronaxie. Synonym: galvanic threshold. Origin: rheo-+ G. Basis, a base (05 Mar 2000) |
| galvanism | <physics> Electricity excited by the mutual action of certain liquids and metals; dynamical electricity. The branch of physical science which treats of dynamical elecricity, or the properties and effects of electrical currents. The words galvanism and galvanic, formerly in very general use, are now rarely employed. For the latter, voltaic, from the name of Volta, is commonly used. Origin: From Galvani: cf. F. Galvanisme. See Galvanic. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| galvanization | Application of direct current (galvanic) electricity, as in galvanizing (electroplating). (05 Mar 2000) |
| galvanize | 1. To affect with galvanism; to subject to the action of electrical currents. 2. To plate, as with gold, silver, etc, by means of electricity. 3. To restore to consciousness by galvanic action (as from a state of suspended animation); hence, to stimulate or excite to a factitious animation or activity. 4. To coat, as iron, with zinc. See Galvanised iron. Galvanised iron, formerly, iron coated with zink by electrical deposition; now more commonly, iron coated with zink by plunging into a bath of melted zink, after its surface has been cleaned by friction with the aid of dilute acid. Origin: Cf. F. Galvaniser. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
