| mechanics | That science, or branch of applied mathematics, which treats of the action of forces on bodies. That part of mechanics which considers the action of forces in producing rest or equilibrium is called statics; that which relates to such action in producing motion is called dynamics. The term mechanics includes the action of forces on all bodies, whether solid, liquid, or gaseous. It is sometimes, however, and formerly was often, used distinctively of solid bodies only: The mechanics of liquid bodies is called also hydrostatics, or hydrodynamics, according as the laws of rest or of motion are considered. The mechanics of gaseous bodies is called also pneumatics. The mechanics of fluids in motion, with special reference to the methods of obtaining from them useful results, constitutes hydraulics. <physiology> Animal mechanics, that portion of physiology which has for its object the investigation of the laws of equilibrium and motion in the animal body. The most important mechanical principle is that of the lever, the bones forming the arms of the levers, the contractile muscles the power, the joints the fulcra or points of support, while the weight of the body or of the individual limbs constitutes the weight or resistance. Applied mechanics, the principles of abstract mechanics applied to human art; also, the practical application of the laws of matter and motion to the construction of machines and structures of all kinds.

| respiratory mechanics | The physical or mechanical action of the lungs, diaphragm, ribs, and chest wall during respiration. It includes airflow, lung volume, neural and reflex controls, mechanoreceptors, breathing patterns, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acid wave | A temporary increase in the acidity of the urine occurring during fasting. Synonym: acid wave. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alkaline wave | A period of urinary neutrality or even alkalinity after meals due to withdrawal of hydrogen ion for the purpose of secretion of the highly acid gastric juice. Synonym: alkaline wave. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alpha wave | Brain waves in the encephalogram which have a frequency of 8 to 13 per second. They are typical of the normal person awake and in a quiet resting state, and occur principally in the occipital region. (12 Dec 1998) |
| arterial wave | A wave in the jugular phlebogram due to transmission of carotid artery pulsation. B wave, the initial positive deflection in the electroretinogram, possibly arising from the inner nuclear layer of the retina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| A wave | The initial negative deflection in the electroretinogram, presumably reflecting retinal photoreceptor activity, an atrial deflection in an electrocardiogram recorded from within the atrium of the heart, the first positive deflection of the atrial and venous pulses due to atrial systole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| beta wave | <neurology> Brain waves in the electroencephalogram which have a frequency of 18 to 30 per second. They are typical during periods of intense activity of the nervous system, and occur principally in the parietal and frontal regions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| brain wave | Colloquialism for electroencephalogram. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brain wave complex | A specific combination of fast and slow electroencephalographic activity that recurs frequently enough to be identified as a discrete phenomenon. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brain wave cycle | The complete upward and downward excursion of a single wave, complex, or impulse as seen on an electroencephalogram. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brain wave test | <investigation> A diagnostic test which measures the electrical activity of the brain (brain waves) using high sensitive recording equipment attached to the scalp by fine electrodes. Commonly employed in the evaluation of neurological disease (for example seizures, epilepsy, etc.). Acronym: EEG (13 Nov 1997) |
| cannon wave | An exaggerated A wave in the jugular pulse caused by right atrial contraction occurring after ventricular contraction has closed the tricuspid valve, as in ventricular premature beats and in complete A-V block. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radio wave | <physics> Electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths of 300 millimetres or longer (even up to several kilometres). Radiation of this type is used to broadcast radio and television signals, and has frequencies up to thousands of megahertz (or one gigahertz). (09 Oct 1997) |
