| 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) |
| serial | 1. Of or pertaining to a series; consisting of a series; appearing in successive parts or numbers; as, a serial work or publication. "Classification . . . May be more or less serial." 2. <botany> Of or pertaining to rows. Serial homology. <biology> See Symmetry. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| serial extraction | The selective extraction of deciduous teeth during the stage of mixed dentition in accordance with the shedding and eruption of the teeth. It is done over an extended period to allow autonomous adjustment to relieve crowding of the dental arches during the eruption of the lateral incisors, canines, and premolars, eventually involving the extraction of the first premolar teeth. (12 Dec 1998) |
| serial film changer | A device that moves film for radiographic studies that require rapid serial X-ray exposures, such as angiography. Synonym: rapid film changer, serial film changer. (05 Mar 2000) |
| serial learning | Learning to make a series of responses in exact order. (12 Dec 1998) |
| serial passage | Inoculation of a series of animals or in vitro tissue with an infectious bacterium or virus, as in virulence studies and the development of vaccines. (12 Dec 1998) |
| serial publications | Publications in any medium issued in successive parts bearing numerical or chronological designations and intended to be continued indefinitely. (ala glossary of library and information science, 1983, p203) (12 Dec 1998) |
| serial radiography | Making several X-ray exposures of a single region over a period of time, as in angiography. (05 Mar 2000) |
| serial section | One of a number of consecutive microscopic section's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| serial stretch orthoses |
a series of static orthoses to keep a body part with a flexion contracture on gentle passive stretch; at each therapy session the joint is extended as far as it will comfortably go and a splint is shaped to hold it at that angle; eventually an optimal position of extension is reached.
