| Wedensky facilitation | The arrival of an impulse at a blocked zone, enhancing the excitability of the nerve beyond the block and indicating that the neuromuscular preparation distal to the block has been changed even though the enhancing stimulus is not conducted through the blocked zone. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| social facilitation | Any enhancement of a motivated behaviour in which individuals do the same thing with some degree of mutual stimulation and consequent coordination. (12 Dec 1998) |
| facilitation | <physiology> Greater effectiveness of synaptic transmission by successive presynaptic impulses, usually due to increased transmitter release. (18 Nov 1997) |

| neuromuscular | <anatomy> Pertaining to muscles and nerves. (18 Nov 1997) |
| neuromuscular agents | Drugs used for their actions on skeletal muscle. Included are agents that act directly on skeletal muscle, those that alter neuromuscular transmission (neuromuscular blocking agents), and drugs that act centrally as skeletal muscle relaxants (muscle relaxants, central). Drugs used in the treatment of movement disorders are anti-dyskinesia agents. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neuromuscular blockade | The intentional interruption of transmission at the neuromuscular junction by external agents, usually neuromuscular blocking agents. It is distinguished from nerve block in which nerve conduction is interrupted rather than neuromuscular transmission. Neuromuscular blockade is commonly used to produce muscle relaxation as an adjunct to anaesthesia during surgery and other medical procedures. It is also often used as an experimental manipulation in basic research. It is not strictly speaking anaesthesia but is grouped here with anaesthetic techniques. The failure of neuromuscular transmission as a result of pathological processes is not included here. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neuromuscular blocking agent | A group of drugs that prevent motor nerve endings from exciting skeletal muscle. They act either by competing for the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, (like D-tubocurarine, mivacurium and pancuronium), or by first stimulating the postjunctional muscle membrane and subsequently desensitizing the muscle endplates to the acetylcholine (like succinylcholine or decamethonium); used in surgery to produce paralysis and facilitate manipulation of muscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuromuscular blocking agents | Drugs that interrupt transmission of nerve impulses at the skeletal neuromuscular junction. They can be of two types, competitive, stabilizing blockers (neuromuscular nondepolarising agents) or noncompetitive, depolarising agents (neuromuscular depolarising agents). Both prevent acetylcholine from triggering the muscle contraction and they are used as anaesthesia adjuvants, as relaxants during electroshock, in convulsive states, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neuromuscular cell | A cell of a lower metazoan organism that is both sensitive and contractile. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuromuscular depolarising agents | Drugs that interrupt transmission at the skeletal neuromuscular junction by causing sustained depolarisation of the motor end plate. These agents are primarily used as adjuvants in surgical anaesthesia to cause skeletal muscle relaxation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation |
a system of therapeutic exercise for the inhibition of spasticity, with emphasis on the training of specific diagonal or spiral body movements against resistance in synergistic patterns; long repetition of involuntary reflex movements is aimed at the eventual development of greater voluntary motor control.
