What's the difference between distensibility and distensible?
Distensibility
Definition:
(n.) The quality or capacity of being distensible.
Example Sentences:
(1) administration of the potent short-acting opioid, fentanyl, elicited inhibition of rhythmic spontaneous reflex increases in vesical pressure (VP) evoked by urinary bladder distension.
(2) Water immersion (WI) to the neck induces prompt increases in central blood volume, central venous pressure, and atrial distension.
(3) Current methodology for the in vitro determination of aortic and large artery stiffness is reviewed and involves three approaches: (1) the estimation of distensibility by pulse wave velocity measurement; (2) the estimation of distensibility from the fractional diameter change of a given arterial segment by imaging techniques (e.g., angiography, Doppler ultrasound) against pressure change; (3) the estimation of compliance by determining volume change against pressure change in the arterial system during diastolic runoff from the Windkessel model of the circulation.
(4) Ultrastructural examination of noncartilaginous regions of the tumor demonstrated mesenchymal cells with features suggestive of cartilaginous differentiation, viz, scalloped cell membranes, sac-like distension of abundant rough endoplasmic reticulum, and a matrix containing fibrillary and finely granular material.
(5) The inferior mesenteric vein was cannulated for distension.
(6) After suspension of distension, arterial and venous flow and oxygen saturation increased beyond the quiescent level.
(7) Secondary valvular incompetence occurs from deep venous obstruction or increased venous distensibility (usually secondary to circulating estrogens).
(8) Reductions in periesophageal EMG activity during expulsion were similar before and after cervical vagotomy, which abolishes reflex relaxation of the periesophageal diaphragm following esophageal distension.
(9) The changes in the motor pattern resemble those of the intrinsically mediated 'peristaltic reflex', studied in animals, and suggest that in man the response to balloon distension may also be mediated through an intrinsic mechanism.
(10) 39 degrees C), abdominal distension and jaundice were uniformly present.
(11) However, in cases of delayed secondary scrotal surgery, or when a previous inflammatory process has existed in the scrotum, the limited scrotal distensibility may lead to further complications.
(12) Although undoubtedly release by atrial distension and effective when infused to similar concentrations, atrial distension also has other effects via neural pathways.
(13) Seven cases of capsular bag distension following capsulorhexis and phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens insertion are presented.
(14) Pulse rate and blood pressure were not affected by the gall bladder distension.
(15) Changes in LV diastolic P-V relations may be caused by changes in myocardial distensibility and by changes in extraventricular constraint.
(16) Responses of SL-A neurons to colorectal distension were significantly greater in spinalized than in intact rats.
(17) In percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, a catheter system is introduced through a systemic artery under local anesthesia to dilate a stenotic artery by controlled inflation of a distensible balloon.
(18) The patients did not have a normal increase in duodenal spike or motor activity after intestinal distension, but duodenal activity increased after stimulation with intravenous secretin.
(19) The main radiological features varied from normal findings (15% of the initial examinations) to decreased distensibility of the bowel wall, intestinal fixation, mucosal and contour abnormalities, ulceration, stenoses and fistula formation.
(20) Distension produced a transient contraction of the circular muscle on the oral side and sustained relaxation on the anal side.
