(17) The results are consistent with our previous suggestion that lethality for virulent SFV infection results from a lethal threshold of damage to neurons in the CNS and that attenuating mutations may reduce neuronal damage below this threshold level.
(18) Changes in renal renin levels after the administration of glycerol were not significant, although lower renal renin values were consistently found in rabbits with more severe impairment of renal function.
(19) We conclude that the rat somatosympathetic reflex consists of an early excitatory component due to the early activation of RVL-spinal sympathoexcitatory neurons with rapidly conducting axons and a later peak that may arise from the late activation of these same neurons as well as the early activation of RVL vasomotor neurons with more slowly conducting spinal axons.
(20) The in vivo approach consisted of interspecies grafting between quail and chick embryos.
Viscosity
Definition:
(n.) The quality or state of being viscous.
(n.) A quality analogous to that of a viscous fluid, supposed to be caused by internal friction, especially in the case of gases.
Example Sentences:
