What's the difference between carnassial and sectorial?

Carnassial


Definition:

  • (a.) Adapted to eating flesh.
  • (n.) A carnassial tooth; especially, the last premolar in many carnivores.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Electromyographic activity from the balancing-side muscles is nearly equal to EMG activity of the working-side muscles during bone crushing with the carnassial teeth.
  • (2) Working-side muscle activity produced bone strain that correlated with a compressive joint loading, while balancing-side muscle activity, with an occlusal fulcrum at the carnassial teeth, produced bone strain indicative of an anteroventral movement of the working-side mandibular condyle which eventually ruptured the joint capsule.
  • (3) It is proposed that working-side muscle activity exceeds balancing-side muscle activity during carnassial biting to maintain jaw-joint stability.
  • (4) It is hypothesized that a high percentage of balancing-side muscle activity in ferrets can be recruited during carnassial biting because the postglenoid process prevents ventral displacement of the working-side mandibular condyle.
  • (5) Electromyographic activity was also recorded during biting while a bite-force transducer placed between the carnassial teeth registered forces ranging from 1.5 to 48.8 N. Linear regression analysis demonstrates that temporalis and masseter EMG activity are linearly related to bite force.
  • (6) Special emphasis will be placed on coronal access of the canine, carnassial and incisor dentition.
  • (7) When the temporalis and masseter muscles were stimulated bilaterally with a carnassial bite point, bone strain indicative of a ventrally directed and potentially damaging condylar movement was produced.
  • (8) The combined effect at the carnassials was a 36 per cent improvement in the efficiency of the lever for which the joint is the fulcrum and thus an equivalent reduction in the disarticulating force.

Sectorial


Definition:

  • (a.) Adapted for cutting.
  • (n.) A sectorial, or carnassial, tooth.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In the periosteum of the human tibia, the arterial blood supply shows a general sectorial angioarchitecture.
  • (2) The quality of the re-insertion also depends on the care possibilities available to the patient: sectorial follow-up, job-aid centre, sheltered workshops, associative apartments, leisure.
  • (3) Computerized comparison between the sectorial parameters at rest and during peak exercise localizes and classifies the degree of global and regional impairment in response to exercise.
  • (4) More specifically, rigidities and distortive incentives have built up over decades to shape house financing and sectorial savings patterns.
  • (5) Results were compared of exploration with combined continuous emission Doppler and a Duplex examination (sectorial scanning ultrasound imaging coupled with pulsed emission Doppler) and data from arteriography of 186 vertebral arteries in patients, mean age 57 years, admitted for exploration of a cerebral ischemic accident or a cervical murmur.
  • (6) The probes available to perform abdominal vessels investigations have a frequency between 3 and 7.5 MHZ, and are chosen according to the morphology of the patient; in our experience in most cases sectorial probes are preferred.
  • (7) It is concluded that a sectorial type primary resection-anastomosis is advisable in the case of generalised peritonitis, preceding the operation with an abundant peritoneal wash-out.
  • (8) A 31-year-old Chinese man developed left optic neuritis with left sectorial field loss as a remote effect of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
  • (9) The ocular examination reveals a small anterior chamber, sectorial iridic atrophies, a mydriatic pupil, the camerular angle closed.
  • (10) Seventy-two normal subjects and 486 cardiac patients were investigated by ultrasonic sectorial scanning and one-dimensional echocardiography.
  • (11) A precise knowledge of the sectorial anatomy of the liver and its variations is essential in order to be able to localize lesions in the parenchyma and to guide segmental resection of the liver.
  • (12) Furthermore, they were sectorially distributed in the cytoplasm.
  • (13) The effects of filtering were evaluated by sectorial analysis.
  • (14) Sectorial phase is calculated as the difference between the phase of the sectorial and global first Fourier component.
  • (15) Type 2 patients (n = 45) as a group had regionalized pigmentation, sectorial field loss, and some recordable electroretinogram.
  • (16) The tumorigenesis may be established by using some accessory diagnostic methods: a cytological test of the tumor punctate and the breast nipple discharge, as well as a sectorial resection of the involved mammary gland portion with an express histological analysis of the preparation.
  • (17) Fifty patients who had undergone aorto-bifemoral bypass with a bifurcated Dacron graft for aortoiliac arteriosclerotic obliteration were examined with real-time sectorial ultrasound to screen for the presence of hydronephrosis.
  • (18) Images were analysed visually and quantitatively (sectorial quantification of 201Tl uptake on the bull's eye images of the short-axis slices) compared with those of 35 subjects with a low likelihood of coronary artery disease.
  • (19) The following parameters were measured: mean arterial pressure (MAP) using Dinamap, heart rate (HR), FAD, common femoral artery cross sectorial area (A), VTI and peripheral arteriolar resistances (PAR).
  • (20) In patients with temporoinferior sectorial retinal pigmentary dystrophy, for example, the maximal amplitude of the a-, b-waves and retinal oscillatory potentials deviated toward the temporoinferior side on the surface topography.
