| voltage | <physics> Electric potential or potential difference, expressed in volts. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| voltage clamp | <physiology, technique> A technique in electrophysiology, in which a microelectrode is inserted into a cell and current injected through the electrode so as to hold the cells membrane potential at some predefined level. The technique can be used with separate electrodes for voltage sensing and current passing, for small cells, the same electrode can be used for both. Voltage clamp is a powerful technique for the study of ion channels. See: patch clamp. (18 Nov 1997) |
| voltage-gated channel | A class of ion channel's that open and close in response to change in the electrical potential across the plasma membrane of the cell; voltage-gated Na+ c.'s are important for conducting action potential along nerve cell processes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| voltage gated ion channel | <physiology> A transmembrane ion channel whose permeability to ions is extremely sensitive to the transmembrane potential difference. These channels are essential for neuronal signal transmission and for intracellular signal transduction. See: sodium channel. (18 Nov 1997) |
| voltage gradient | <physiology> Literally, the electric field in a region, defined as the potential difference between two points divided by the distance between them. Used more loosely, the potential difference across a plasma membrane. (18 Nov 1997) |
| voltage loop | <radiobiology> A wire which encircles the main axis of a tokamak in the vicinity of the vacuum vessel. The voltage induced in this loop during the shot is a measure of the ohmic heating voltage induced by transformer action and applied to the plasma. (09 Oct 1997) |
| allergy testing | <investigation> A common method of screening a patient for potential allergies. May be given as a patch or a skin test (injection). (27 Sep 1997) |
| animal testing | <pharmacology> Before researchers test pharmaceuticals in human clinical trials, they test them in animals to determine toxicity, dosing, and efficacy. What they learn in animal models helps them determine if it is safe and worthwhile to proceed to human trials, and how best to design those trials. (14 Nov 1997) |
| animal testing alternatives | Procedures, such as tissue culture, mathematical models, etc., when used or advocated for use in place of the use of animals in research or diagnostic laboratories. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anonymous testing | Testing in which no name is used there is total anonymity to identify the person tested. For example, the State of Florida requires that each county have a site for anonymous HIV testing. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bench testing | Testing of a device against specifications in a simulated (nonliving) environment. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mandatory testing | Testing or screening required by federal, state, or local law or other agencies for the diagnosis of specified conditions. It is usually limited to specific populations such as categories of health care providers, members of the military, and prisoners or to specific situations such as premarital examinations or donor screening. (12 Dec 1998) |
| reality testing | The individual's objective evaluation of the external world and the ability to differentiate adequately between it and the internal world; considered to be a primary ego function. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gene testing | Testing a sample of blood (or another fluid or tissue) for evidence of a gene. The evidence can be biochemical, chromosomal, or genetic. The aim is to learn whether a gene for a disease is present or absent. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genetic testing | Identifying foetuses or infants afflicted with hereditary diseases or conditions, and carriers of recessive disorders by means of DNA analysis. See: DNA markers, familial screening, prenatal screening. Synonym: genetic testing. (05 Mar 2000) |
