What's the difference between afferent and motorial?

Afferent


Definition:

  • (a.) Bearing or conducting inwards to a part or organ; -- opposed to efferent; as, afferent vessels; afferent nerves, which convey sensations from the external organs to the brain.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that the decreased Epi response following ET was due to 1) depletion of adrenal Epi content such that adrenomedullary stimulation would not release Epi, 2) decreased Epi release with direct stimulation, i.e., desensitization of release, or 3) decreased afferent signals generated by ET itself.

  • (12) From these experiments it is concluded that vascular A1 and A2 adenosine receptors are present in the kidney and that activation of A1 receptors is associated with preglomerular vasoconstriction only, whereas activation of A2 receptors mediates pre- and postglomerular vasodilation with a lack of vasodilatory response of the distal afferent arteriole.
  • (13) By modifying the spatial distribution of afferents to the network, we demonstrate that the same basic model functions properly in spite of afferents with nonuniform background firing rates.

  • (18) The tidal volume increase under CO2 inhalation was suppressed by the inflation reflex but other afferent vagal nerves seemed to be closely associated with the increased respiratory rate.
  • (19) Although many of these centrally observed alterations can be attributed to altered peripheral projections in axotomized V primary afferents, others must reflect central reorganization.
  • (20) The amount of spinal visceral afferences is relatively small (only 1.5-2.5% of all somatic spinal afferences).

Motorial


Definition:

  • (n.) Causing or setting up motion; pertaining to organs of motion; -- applied especially in physiology to those nerves or nerve fibers which only convey impressions from a nerve center to muscles, thereby causing motion.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Besides the question is followed how far the restriction of the motorial functions in relation to other psychological stress within this illness reduces and neurotizises their attitude to life.
  • (2) However, unlike the visual area with the alteration of the deficience type (lowered protein contents, reduced dimensions of neurons), the alterations observed in the motory area are of the compensation order (increased protein contents, enlarged neurons).
  • (3) The sensible and motorial deficit can be decisively influenced by an early exoneration of the neurovascular septum.
  • (4) Also, the type of illness or disability and motorial handicap as well as the non-verbal intelligence were included.
  • (5) These patients are especially handicapped in their concentration and motorial performances.
  • (6) prolonged pregnancy, characteristical "bird headed face", mikrocephaly, shortening, general dystrophy, stato-motorial and mental retardation.
  • (7) The neuropathological features consisted of scattered neuroaxonal spheroids, fusiform distention of the intramedullary portions of the spinal cord ventral roots and, as defined by microtubule-associated protein-2 (MAP 2) immunoreactivity, an initial distention and subsequent loss of dendritic processes in neurons of the nucleus motoris lateralis with the perikaryon of these cells remaining intact.
  • (8) Comparing dose levels for pentetrazol antagonism or antiaggressive activity with those causing motorial side effects in mice brotizolam (2-bromo-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-9-methyl-6H-thieno[3,2-f]-1,2,4-triazolo [4,3-alpha]-1,4-diazepine, We 941, Lendormin) showed consistently larger dose ranges than diazepam.
  • (9) They consist in mental alertness disorder, motorial confusion and quite constantly in reflexes and abnormal movements due to brain stem lesion.
  • (10) Persons with motorial handicaps are able to cope with their disabilities as well as persons without motorial handicaps.
  • (11) Motorial troubles, which in 13 cases were not detected at the moment of the diagnosis of the other lesions, always occurred later.
  • (12) The investigation methods included, besides the usual clinical rating scales (Webster, Zung, Hoehn and Yahr), an apparative test series, the so-called 'MLS', which allowed a sensitive and reliable assessment of fine motorial skills.
  • (13) Interferometrically is was shown that the absence of visual impulsation from the very birth of the animal caused alterations in protein substances not only in the neurons of visual area of the brain cortex but also in those of the motory one.
