| reflex, stretch | Reflex contraction of a muscle in response to stretching, which stimulates muscle proprioceptors. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| pulmonary stretch receptors | Stretch receptors found in the bronchi and bronchioles. Pulmonary stretch receptors are sensors for a reflex which stops inspiration. In humans, the reflex is protective and is probably not activated during normal respiration. (12 Dec 1998) |
| stretch | 1. To reach out; to extend; to put forth. "And stretch forth his neck long and small." (Chaucer) "I in conquest stretched mine arm." (Shak) 2. To draw out to the full length; to cause to extend in a straight line; as, to stretch a cord or rope. 3. To cause to extend in breadth; to spread; to expand; as, to stretch cloth; to stretch the wings. 4. To make tense; to tighten; to distend forcibly. "The ox hath therefore stretched his yoke in vain." (Shak) 5. To draw or pull out to greater length; to strain; as, to stretch a tendon or muscle. "Awake, my soul, stretch every nerve." (Doddridge) 6. To exaggerate; to extend too far; as, to stretch the truth; to stretch one's credit. "They take up, one day, the most violent and stretched prerogative." (Burke) Origin: OE. Strecchen, AS. Streccan; akin to D. Strekken, G. Strecken, OHG. Strecchen, Sw. Stracka, Dan. Straekke; cf. AS. Straeck, strec, strong, violent, G. Strack straight; of uncertain origin, perhaps akin to E. Strong. Cf. Straight. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| stretch marks | Bands of thin wrinkled skin, initially red but becoming purple and white, which occur commonly on the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs at puberty and/or during and following pregnancy, and result from atrophy of the dermis and overextension of the skin; also associated with ascites and Cushing's syndrome. Synonym: atrophoderma striatum, lineae albicantes, lineae atrophicae, linear atrophy, stretch marks, stria, striae atrophicae, striate atrophy of skin, traction atrophy, vergeture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stretch receptors | Receptor's that are sensitive to elongation, especially those in Golgi tendon organs and muscle spindles, but also those found in visceral organs such as the stomach, small intestine, and urinary bladder; these receptor's have the function of detecting elongation, and this distinguishes them from baroreceptors, which actually are activated by stretching of the wall of the blood vessel but whose function is to elicit central reflex mechanism reducing the arterial blood pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stretch reflex | Tonic contraction of the muscles in response to a stretching force, due to stimulation of muscle proprioceptors. Synonym: Liddell-Sherrington reflex, muscular reflex, stretch reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| artificial neural net | Artificial Neural Nets (ANN) are computer models of biological nerve cell networks. (09 Oct 1997) |
| bag net | A bag-shaped net for catching fish. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| Chiari's net | Abnormal fibrous or lacelike strands in the right atrium, extending from the margins of the coronary or caval valves and attaching to the atrial wall along the line of the crista terminalis; results when resorption of the septum spurium is markedly less than normal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chromidial net | A reticulum of basophilic-staining material in the cytoplasm of certain cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nerve net | A meshlike structure composed of interconnecting nerve cells that are separated at the synaptic junction or joined to one another by cytoplasmic processes. In invertebrates, for example, the nerve net allows nerve impulses to spread over a wide area of the net because synapses can pass information in any direction. (12 Dec 1998) |
| net | 1. To make into a net; to make n the style of network; as, to net silk. 2. To take in a net; to capture by stratagem or wile. "And now I am here, netted and in the toils." (Sir W. Scott) 3. To inclose or cover with a net; as, to net a tree. Origin: Netted; Netting. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| net flux | The difference between the two unidirectional flux's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| net heating value | The potential energy available in the fuel as received, taking into account the energy loss in evapourating and superheating the water in the sample. Expressed as NVH = (HHV x (1- MC / 100)) - (LH(2)O x MC / 100) (05 Dec 1998) |
| net knot | <cell biology> The central portion of a cells nucleus that typically contains a glob of heterochromatin. Origin: Gr. Soma = body (09 Oct 1997) |
