What's the difference between exciting and excitive?

Exciting


Definition:

  • (a.) Calling or rousing into action; producing excitement; as, exciting events; an exciting story.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Handing Greater Manchester’s £6bn health and social care budget over to the city’s combined authority is the most exciting experiment in local government and the health service in decades – but the risks are huge.
  • (2) The dependence of fluorescence polarization of stained nerve fibres on the angle between the fibre axis and electrical vector of exciting light (azimuth characteristics) has been considered.
  • (3) This frees the student to experience the excitement and challenge of learning and the joy of helping people.
  • (4) This result suggests that tryptophan-86 may be importantly involved in the generation of the product excited state during aequorin bioluminescence.
  • (5) This report is an overview of the data and has incorporated some additional findings of the influence of the ACTH4-9 analog, Org2766, on neuronal excitation, especially in the hippocampus.
  • (6) The relative strength of the progressions varies with excitation wavelength and this, together with the absence of a common origin, indicates the existence of two independent emitting states with 0-0' levels separated by either 300 or 1000 cm-1.
  • (7) Stimulation of parallel fibers or iontophoresis of acetylcholine excited P cells.
  • (8) This effect of adrenalectomy on MNE excitability was further demonstrated by recording directly the neostigmine-induced repetitive neural discharges responsible for the muscle fasciculations.
  • (9) This behavior consists of a very rapid bend of the body and tail that is thought to arise from the monosynaptic excitation of large primary motoneurons by the Mauthner cell.
  • (10) We present the analysis both formally and in geometric terms and show how it leads to a general algorithm for the optimization of NMR excitation schemes.
  • (11) The differentiated neuroblastoma cell possesses characteristics of an electrically excitable cell and can generate propagated potential spikes in which Ca2+ is the inward charge carrier.
  • (12) Following electrical stimulation of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) area, 21% of the neurons were orthodromically excited, 6% were inhibited and 2.5% were antidromically activated.
  • (13) Formation of a complex between alpha-tocopherol or its analogues in the excited state and fatty acids or their hydroperoxides has been suggested basing on the fluorescence quenching experimental data.
  • (14) It is concluded that intraventricular 5-HT raises rectal temperature in cats when the amount is not too large, and that a hypothermic effect when it occurs results from paralysis of cells in the anterior hypothalamus which are excited by small doses.
  • (15) The optical efficiencies are similar and depend on the match of the excitation characteristics of the stain with the emission spectra of the light source.
  • (16) The decision of the editors to solicit a review for the Medical Progress series of this journal devoted to current concepts of the renal handling of salt and water is sound in that this important topic in kidney physiology has recently been the object of a number of new, exciting and, in some instances, quite unexpected insights into the mechanisms governing sodium excretion.
  • (17) As a consequence, a neural network, considered as a kind of parallel random automata, delivers an output random field in response to the excitation provided by a random field that represents the activity of some input fibers.
  • (18) CNS excitation and seizures, manifestations of organochlorine intoxication, can occur following ingestion or inappropriate application of the 1 per cent topical formulation of lindane used to treat scabies and lice.
  • (19) We use this procedure to assess the excitability of the auditory nerve, the patency of the cochlea and to detect undesirable side effects of electrical stimulation, such as facial nerve activation.
  • (20) And that's exciting, you've got no time to slow it down.

Excitive


Definition:

  • (a.) Serving or tending to excite; excitative.
  • (n.) That which excites; an excitant.
