What's the difference between inextensible and nonextensile?
Inextensible
Definition:
(a.) Not capable of being extended; not elastic; as, inextensible fibers.
Example Sentences:
(1) When small and inextensive these tumours are rare and often surgical; when extensive they are usually unresectable.
(2) To the toxicity of the injected product, which diffuses far from the minimal point of entry, may be added the destructive effect of the high pressure on the cell spaces of the hand, which are narrow and inextensible.
(3) A prototype probe, which is based on inextensible thin plastic balloons filled with oil or saline, was tested in comparison with traditional (perfused) and microtransducer systems to outline the positive and negative aspects of the solution.
(4) Although this domain is functionally inextensible at physiological sarcomere length, the epitope movement in extremely stretched muscle shows that it is intrinsically elastic.
(5) Compared to the cell membrane, the marginal band is nearly inextensible and has a much greater resistance to bending, indicating that the band makes an important contribution to the deformability of the circulating cell.
(6) The circumferential extensibility of leaflets from Medtronic Intact bioprostheses and from fresh porcine aortic valves were not significantly different (p greater than 0.05), whereas leaflets from the other second-generation valves tested and from Carpentier-Edwards 6625 valves were highly inextensible in the circumferential direction.
(7) In addition, this technique makes little demand on the extensibility of the natural tissue in order to adapt to the prosthesis, which is inextensible.
(8) Epitope profiles of nebulin variants in three skeletal muscles revealed that (a) nebulin is inextensible since nebulin epitopes maintain a fixed distance to the Z line irrespective of the degree of sarcomere stretch; (b) a single nebulin polypeptide spans a minimal distance of 0.9 microns from the Z line; (c) nebulin contains repeating epitopes that are spaced at 40 nm or its multiples; (d) nebulin repeats coincide with thin filament periodicity; (e) nebulin variants differ mainly at either or both ends; and (f) nebulin remains in the sarcomere in actin-free sarcomeres produced by gelsolin treatment.
(9) These fabrics are continuous with the tendon body of the prosthesis consisting of an inextensible braided cord which is silicone rubber coated to prevent tissue adherence in the glide zone of the tendon bed.
(10) At low [MgATP] the elastic properties are those of a highly ordered, inextensible fiber; at high [MgATP] they are representative of a much more elastic body.

(16) GPRVS eliminates hernias of the groin by rendering the peritoneum inextensible by placing, in the preperitoneal space, a large prosthesis that extends far beyond the borders of the myopectineal orifice.
(17) Its physical properties are such that it is distensible when the total intrapericardial volume is small and inextensible when total intrapericardial volume is large.
(18) This "modified rotation flap" design works to a maximum advantage in the inextensible region of the scalp and forehead by providing single-stage primary closure of moderate to large defects.
(19) From the observed data it was concluded that any tissue substitute used in mitral valve replacement should be rather inextensible and have a low loss modulus.
(20) Nebulin, which forms a long inextensible filament in sarcomeres, was fragmented into 200-, 180-, 40-, 33-, and 23-kDa subfragments on treatment with 0.1 mM CaCl2.
