Beating


Definition:

  • (p. pr. & vb. n.) of Beat
  • (n.) The act of striking or giving blows; punishment or chastisement by blows.
  • (n.) Pulsation; throbbing; as, the beating of the heart.
  • (n.) Pulsative sounds. See Beat, n.
  • (n.) The process of sailing against the wind by tacks in zigzag direction.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) It is suitable either for brief sampling of AP durations when recording with microelectrodes, which may impale cells intermittently, or for continuous monitoring, as with suction electrodes on intact beating hearts in situ.
