Fetis


Definition:

  • (a.) Neat; pretty; well made; graceful.

Example Sentences:

  • (5) Similarly the metathoracic FETi bears a striking resemblance to the pro- and the mesothoracic SETi.
  • (6) Fibres innervated by SETi but not by FETi are of slow type ultrastructurally.

  • (14) In the presynaptic FETi motor neuron, raising the temperature reduces the amplitude of an antidromic spike recorded in the soma by a factor of 10 (40 mV to 4 mV), reduces the time taken to reach peak amplitude by 5 (3.5 to 0.7 ms) and decreases the duration at half maximum amplitude by 0.5.

  • (20) As an example of the latter, the morphology of the metathoracic slow extensor tibiae (SETi) motor neurons was similar to that of pro- and mesothoracic fast extensor tibiae (FETi) motor neurons.
