What's the difference between locomotion and organism?

Locomotion


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of moving from place to place.
  • (n.) The power of moving from place to place, characteristic of the higher animals and some of the lower forms of plant life.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Platelet-activating factor (PAF-acether), an inflammatory mediator with a wide range of biological activities including neutrophil aggregation and chemotaxis, was studied for its effect on human eosinophil locomotion (chemotaxis and chemokinesis).
  • (2) The model can account for speed changes in locomotion with a relatively smooth change of system parameters.
  • (3) When the organisms are free-swimming this is seen as the reversed locomotion of Jennings' "avoiding reaction."
  • (4) In naïve mice, i.e., mice with intact stores of DA, both the selective D1 antagonist SCH23390 and the selective D2 antagonist spiperone blocked the locomoter stimulation produced by (+)-amphetamine.
  • (5) With respect to the mechanism of the delayed invasion, it was suggested that the IFN-gamma might inhibit the adhesion of the cells to extracellular matrices (ECM) and the subsequent locomotion.
  • (6) During normal locomotion, SA-m exhibited a single burst of EMG activity per step cycle, during the swing phase.
  • (7) a 45-mg pellet every 45 s) induces considerable locomotion, rearing and other motor activities in food-deprived rats.
  • (8) One hypothesis to account for intercellular invasion proposes that a necessary condition for a cell type to be invasive to a given host tissue is that it lack contact paralysis of locomotion during collision with cells of that host tissue.
  • (9) The failure of agents which inhibit motility to inhibit capping of the normal lymphocytes suggests that active locomotion is not a direct prerequisite for capping.
  • (10) The average speed of the cells, as well as the proportion of neutrophils showing locomotion, is increased.
  • (11) In the rotatory and transverse gallop (examples of the in-phase form of locomotion) the coupling is asymmetrical: on one side it is comparable to pacing (forelimb flexion precedes hindlimb extension), and on the other side to trotting (forelimb flexion follows extension).
  • (12) Wandering is movement changing over time and, thus, is a nonlinear ultradian rhythm, with locomoting and nonlocomoting phases.
  • (13) Locomotion and general activities were typically unchanged over days.
  • (14) While executing the latter movements no forward locomotion occurred at all; the cats solely executed lateral fore- and hindlimb movements opposite to the direction in which the cylinder rotated.
  • (15) In addition, this drug slightly reduced locomotion and more markedly rearing in a free exploration procedure.
  • (16) Animals injected with DZP, NPC 12626, CPP or buspirone spent at least 1.4 of the 4 post shock minutes locomoting.
  • (17) injection of bremazocine, an opiate kappa-receptor agonist, suppressed spontaneous locomotion but not CRF-induced locomotion.
  • (18) Without shocks, apomorphine-treated rats displayed stereotypy with locomotion and biting of various objects.
  • (19) Absence of a functioning velocity storage network in bottom-dwelling teleosts (as in Amphibia) may be related to the sporadic, slow locomotion of these species and the resulting small requirements for continuous gaze stabilization during self-motion at higher velocities.
  • (20) reversed the increase in locomotion and elevation of multiple squeak thresholds in the bilaterally kindled rats.

Organism


Definition:

  • (n.) Organic structure; organization.
  • (n.) An organized being; a living body, either vegetable or animal, compozed of different organs or parts with functions which are separate, but mutually dependent, and essential to the life of the individual.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The high amino acid levels in the cells suggest that these cells act as inter-organ transporters and reservoirs of amino acids, they have a different role in their handling and metabolism from those of mammals.
  • (2) These organic compounds were found to be stable on the sorbent tubes for at least seven days.
  • (3) The main clinical features pertaining to the concept of the "psycho-organic syndrome" (POS) were investigated in a sample of children who suffered from severe craniocerebral trauma.
  • (4) After 3 and 6 months, blood collected by cardiocentesis using ether anesthesia and then sacrificed to remove CNS and internal organs.
  • (5) Addition of phospholipase A2 from Vipera russelli venom led to a significant increase in the activity of guanylate cyclase in various rat organs.
  • (6) For the first time it was organized on the basis of population.
  • (7) Acceptance of less than ideal donors is ill-advised even though rejection of such donors conflicts with the current shortage of organs.
  • (8) There is no evidence that health-maintenance organizations reduce admissions in discretionary or "unnecessary" categories; instead, the data suggest lower admission rates across the board.
  • (9) We conclude that chloramphenicol resistance encoded by Tn1696 is due to a permeability barrier and hypothesize that the gene from P. aeruginosa may share a common ancestral origin with these genes from other gram-negative organisms.
  • (10) Recovery of CV-3988 from plasma averaged 81.7% for the column procedure and 40% for the organic extraction.
  • (11) One of the main users is coastal planning organizations and conservation organizations that are working on coral reefs.
  • (12) Infection with opportunistic organisms, either singly or in combination, is known to occur in immunocompromised patients.
  • (13) The causative organisms included viruses, fungi, and bacteria of both high and low pathogenicity.
  • (14) A chronic cannulation procedure is described which allows for sampling vomeronasal organ (VNO) contents repeatedly in freely moving conscious subjects.
  • (15) Neither Brucella organisms, nor increased numbers of neutrophils could be found in semen samples collected from the experimental animals.
  • (16) The lineage and clonality of Hodgkin's disease (HD) were investigated by analyzing the organization of the immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor beta-chain (T beta) gene loci in 18 cases of HD, and for comparison, in a panel of 103 cases of B- and T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs) and lymphoid leukemias (LLs).
  • (17) A review is made from literature and an inventory of psychological and organic factors implicated in this pathology.
  • (18) The authors conclude that H. pylori alone causes little or no effect on an intact gastric mucosa in the rat, that either intact organisms or bacteria-free filtrates cause similar prolongation and delayed healing of pre-existing ulcers with active chronic inflammation, and that the presence of predisposing factors leading to disruption of gastric mucosal integrity may be required for the H. pylori enhancement of inflammation and tissue damage in the stomach.
  • (19) Data is available to support the early influences of enamel organ epithelium upon a responding mesenchyme in the determination of dental morphogenetic fields (Dryburg, 1967; Miller, 1969).
  • (20) The four deaths were not related to the injuries of parenchymatous organs.
