Clonic


Definition:

  • (a.) Having an irregular, convulsive motion.

  • (18) injection capric, lauric, myristic, palmitic and stearic acid delayed the onset of picrotoxin-induced clonic convulsion in a dose-dependent manner.
  • (19) While the early clonic tonic discharges in the entorhinal cortex and the interictal like activity in area CA3 were effectively suppressed by valproic acid (VPA) the late recurrent tonic seizure discharge state was unaffected by the drug.
  • (20) Spike-and-wave afterdischarges were accompanied by the same motor pattern as stimulation, i.e., by minimal clonic seizures.

Conic


Definition:

  • (a.) Alt. of Conical
  • (n.) A conic section.

Example Sentences:

  • (2) Conical root shapes without special provision of retention are not suitable.

  • (5) That of the small conical filiform papillae is to take food efficiently into the oral cavity.
  • (6) Following enlargement of sporozoite buds the apical ends of the buds became conical in longitudinal sections with the newly formed apical rings at their truncated apices and then, newly formed dense inner membranes and subpellicular microtubules gradually extended backwards and finally enclosed the sporozoites.
  • (7) 1) In polishing the axial surface of the inner crown of the conic telescope crown system, the milling machine with a polishing disk facilitated specular finishing without causing undercutting in the region from the occlusal surface to the dental cervix.
  • (8) The study of the effect of dimensions and local organization of net tissue on its electrical properties can be reduced to the problem of investigating electrical properties of conic fibre at different laws of its expansion.
  • (9) The conical shape of the occlusion device is well suited for the anatomic structure of the ductus.
  • (10) Considering both the present data and previous findings, Palaeognath birds appear to be a peculiar and monophyletic group, characterized by: 1), a conical acrosome surrounding the nucleus; 2), a fibrous sheath around most of the axoneme; and 3), an elongated distal centriole occupying the entire midpiece.
