(n.) That which is heteronymous; a thing having a different name or designation from some other thing; -- opposed to homonym.
Example Sentences:

(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.
(8) The short-latency antidromic activity produced in muscle nerves by stimulating heteronymous muscle nerves thus appears to be a DRR produced in Group I terminal arborizations that are depolarized close to threshold during the flexion phase.
(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.
(11) In a separate experiment, the monosynaptic affects from both homonymous and heteronymous single-Ia afferents were examined in each of 88 MG or LG motoneurons.
(12) Steady-state recurrent (Renshaw) inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (RIPSPs) were evoked in cat triceps surae motoneurons by stimulating the heteronymous muscle nerve at 100 Hz after dorsal root section.
(13) It is therefore argued that the amount of heteronymous I a facilitation can indeed be used to assess the amount of ongoing presynaptic inhibition exerted onto heteronymous I a fibres from the quadriceps muscle to soleus motoneurones.
(14) Stimulation of homonymous or heteronymous pairs of two forelimb nerves of both sides evoked generally a distinct spatial facilitation of the excitatory and late inhibitory effects, while the specific early IPSPs to FDHL motoneurones were not facilitated.
(15) Metabolites produced by (static) muscle contractions stimulate group III and IV muscle afferents, which activate gamma-motoneurones projecting to both homonymous and heteronymous muscles.
(16) When BC or SP nerves were stimulated at 1.5-4 times threshold (T) for their motor axons, no short-latency heteronymous reflexes could be identified in most neck muscles.
(17) Homonymous sprouting displays strict specificity, regeneration does not and heteronymous sprouting represents an intermediate form in which cells are recruited from adjacent motor neuron pools in the segment of the spared innervation.
(18) On the other hand, no change was recognized in the slow depression which was caused by a group I volley of the heteronymous common peroneal nerve and was regarded as the presynaptic inhibition.
(19) The present heteronymous reflex, acting between limb segments, is modulated coincident with ongoing contraction level in the target muscle.
(20) These relationships were qualitatively similar for homonymous and heteronymous connections.
Heterophone

Example Sentences:
(1) These data can be accounted for by assuming multiple lexical entries for heterophonic homographs, single lexical entries for homophonic homographs, and phonological mediation of accessing meanings.
(2) Significant pre-post RT differences, collapsed over pre-post measures and over ears, were found at all 3 frequencies (p less than .0001), indicating that the Monaural Heterophonic RT (MHRT) procedure can indeed be used as an objective measure of auditory adaptation.
(3) The present authors used a monaural heterophonic balance to investigate the adaptation of a 500 Hz adapting tone.
(4) Disambiguation of heterophonic and homophonic homographs was investigated in Hebrew using semantic priming.
(5) Lexical decision for targets related to the dominant phonological alternatives of heterophonic homographs were facilitated at all SOAs.
