(a.) Equally extensive; having equal extent; as, consciousness and knowledge are coextensive.
Example Sentences:
(1) Their receptive fields comprise a temporally and spatially linear mechanism (center plus antagonistic surround) that responds to relatively low spatial frequency stimuli, and a temporally nonlinear mechanism, coextensive with the linear mechanism, that--though broad in extent--responds best to high spatial-frequency stimuli.
(2) The distribution of upper alimentary tract vagal-glossopharyngeal afferents in the medulla oblongata has two primary groups of components, i.e., a viscerotopic distribution in the NTS involved in ingestive and respiratory reflexes and a distribution coextensive with fluoride-resistant acid-phosphatase-positive regions of the PTI and spinal trigeminal nucleus presumably involved in visceral reflexes mediated by nociceptive or chemosensitive C fibers.
(3) Some neurons coextensive with this cell group also exhibit immunoreactivity for the neuropeptide galanin, express monoamine oxidase activity (MAO), or display the ability to accumulate and decarboxylate 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP).
(4) The loop-forming site of the kl-3 locus is coextensive with region h7-h9 which contains about 4300 kb of DNA and corresponds to the minimum physical size of this locus.
(5) At least a portion of urate reabsorption occurs at a site distal to or coextensive with the urate secretory site.
(6) The areas of high particle concentration were coextensive with the fluorescence due to bound toxin.
(7) The nociceptive representation did not violate the general LT somatotopy but neither was it coextensive.
(8) Alternatively, there might be two reabsorptive sites in the proximal tubule: a presecretory site accounting for the reabsorption of most filtered urate, and a site either coextensive or distal to the secretory site accounting for a major component of reabsorption of secreted urate.
(9) This region is coextensive with the pars lateralis as identified in Nissl-stained preparations.
(10) The vagina is "not only coextensive with the female brain but also is part of the female soul".
(11) The principal finding was that zones containing many retrogradely labeled neuronal somata are not completely coextensive with areas of heavy terminal labeling within the medial geniculate body, although there is a gross congruence of thalamocortical-corticothalamic projections.
(12) The nine genes retained in Epifagus encode seven tRNAs and two ribosomal proteins and are coextensive and highly conserved in sequence with homologs in photosynthetic plants.
(13) The largest geniculate receiving area is partially coextensive with Krieg's area 17, but an extension of this projection posterior and medial to the striate cortex was found.
(14) The murine cDNA spans approximately 4 kb and contains two coextensive open reading frames (ORFs) which encode deduced polypeptides of 529 (ORF-1; molecular weight, 59,802) and 502 (ORF-2; molecular weight, 56,957) amino acids, slightly smaller than the purified factor as estimated from its mobility in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels (64,000 to 66,000).
(15) Their basilar dendritic fields and initial intracortical axon collateral arborizations were coextensive with the layer defined by the distribution of corticostriatal neurons.
(16) These fibers were presumed to be parasympathetic because they were not affected by removal of the superior cervical ganglion and because their distribution was coextensive with that of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) immunoreactivity, which we have previously shown to be colocalized with NPY in the cell bodies of otic and sphenopalatine ganglion neurons.
(17) The muscle fiber damage is coextensive with capillary damage and probably results from progressive ischemia.
(18) The autoradiographic signal produced with probes to VIP and PHI created dense concentrations of silver grains over neuronal perikarya in the ventrolateral SCN, and the coextensive distribution of both VIP- and PHI-mRNAs suggests that both peptides are synthesized within the same neurons.
(19) Furthermore, where outer and inner isopter depression is not coextensive, inner isopters are always depressed more than outer isopters when the field defect is due to a lesion of the visual pathway.
(20) This could be explained if the reabsorptive site in the proximal tubule is coextensive with or distal to the secretory site.
