| isometric | 1. Of equal dimensions. 2. In physiology, denoting the condition when the ends of a contracting muscle are held fixed so that contraction produces increased tension at a constant overall length. Compare: auxotonic, isotonic, isovolumic. Origin: iso-+ G. Metron, measure (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| isometric chart | A chart or graph that displays three dimensions on a plane surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
| isometric contraction | Muscular contractions characterised by increase in tension without change in length. (12 Dec 1998) |
| isometric contraction period | The time between closure of the atrioventricular valves and opening of the semilunar valves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| isometric exercise | Exercise consisting of muscular contractions without movement of the involved parts of the body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| isometric period of cardiac cycle | That period in which the muscle fibres do not shorten although the cardiac muscle is excited and the pressure in the ventricles rises, extending from the closure of the atrioventricular valves to the opening of the semilunar valves (isovolumic constriction) or the reverse (isovolumic relaxation). (05 Mar 2000) |
| isometric relaxation | Decrease in tension of a muscle while the length remains constant due to fixation of the ends. (05 Mar 2000) |
| isometric relaxation period | Early ventricular diastole beginning with closure of the aortic and pulmonic valves and preceding opening of the atrioventricular valves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| isometric ruler | A calibrated scale for eliminating distortion in the measurement of plane surfaces. (05 Mar 2000) |
| isometric tension | Tension generated in a muscle without contraction occurring: cross bridges are being re formed with the same site on the thin filament and the tension (in striated muscle) is proportional to the overlap between thick and thin filaments. (18 Nov 1997) |
| axis traction | Rarely used procedure to apply traction upon the foetal head in the line of the birth canal by means of axis traction forceps. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axis-traction forceps | Obstetrical forceps provided with a second handle so attached that traction can be made in the line in which the head must move in the axis of the pelvis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bryant's traction | Traction upon the lower limb placed vertically, employed especially in fractures of the femur in children. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Buck's traction | Apparatus for applying longitudinal skin traction on the leg through contact between the skin and adhesive tape; friction between the tape and skin permits application of force, which is applied through a cord over a pulley, suspending a weight; elevation of the foot of the bed allows the body to act as a counterweight. Synonym: Buck's traction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| maxillomandibular traction | <dentistry> A pulling force developed by using elastic or wire ligatures and interdental wiring or splints, or both. Synonym: intermaxillary traction. (05 Mar 2000) |
