What's the difference between different and heteronymous?

Different


Definition:

  • (a.) Distinct; separate; not the same; other.
  • (a.) Of various or contrary nature, form, or quality; partially or totally unlike; dissimilar; as, different kinds of food or drink; different states of health; different shapes; different degrees of excellence.

Heteronymous


Definition:

  • (a.) Having different names or designations; standing in opposite relations.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) 26) and the nerve to a heteronymous muscle, soleus.
  • (2) Heteronymous excitatory responses were observed in the elctromyogram of the knee extensor muscle vastus medialis (VM), when the latter was prior contracted.
  • (3) Presynaptic inhibition of homonymous Ia afferent terminals to soleus, quadriceps and tibialis anterior motoneurons and of heteronymous Ia fibres from quadriceps to soleus was compared in the same subjects when standing without support and during a control situation (sitting or standing with back support).
  • (4) The individual EPSPs evoked by the action of single Ia fibers from cat triceps surae (MG, LG, SOL) were recorded in homonymous and heteronymous motoneurons innervating these same three muscles.
  • (5) The "rebound" in heteronymous Ia facilitation was interpreted as a relative decrease in presynaptic inhibition to which nonspecific suprasegmental and cutaneous effects contributed.
  • (6) Other factors being equal, the single-fiber e.p.s.p.s evoked in homonymous and heteronymous motoneurons were approximately equal in amplitude.
  • (7) Individual EPSPs were larger on the average if evoked a) in SOL rather than in MG or LG motoneurons, b) by LG rather than by MG or SOL afferent fibers, or c) in homonymous rather than in heteronymous motoneurons.

  • (9) Afferent conduction velocity, motoneuron conduction velocity, rheobase current, and position of the motoneuron relative to the spinal cord afferent entry were all correlated with EPSP amplitude, but the amplitude difference between homonymous and heteronymous connections remained significant after the statistical removal analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) of the contribution of these variables.
  • (10) muscle were recorded intracellularly from homonymous and heteronymous motoneurons in order to study factors that influence the amplitudes of such responses.
