Paw
Definition:
(n.) The foot of a quadruped having claws, as the lion, dog, cat, etc.
(n.) The hand.
(v. i.) To draw the forefoot along the ground; to beat or scrape with the forefoot.

(v. t.) To scrape or beat with the forefoot.
Example Sentences:
(1) In pentobarbital-anesthetized rats or in perfused hind paw of rats, the potentiation induced by cocaine and tripelennamine was more marked to norepinephrine than to epinephrine, but an inverse relation between norepinephrine and epinephrine was observed in the potentiation by I and II.

(6) In the spinalized preparation, steady-state and nonsteady-state responses have an equal likelihood of emerging from the initial cycles of a paw-shake response, suggesting that regular coupling of joint oscillations is not planned by pattern-generating networks within lumbosacral segments.
(7) The spinal ascending pathways responsible for neuronal ventrobasal (VB) thalamic responses elicited by joint stimulation of the posterior paw were determined in arthritic rats used as a model of experimental pain.
(8) The response was composed of an isometric phase, during which the body weight was shifted from the stimulated limb to the opposite forelimb while the stimulated limb was gently pushed backwards, and a movement phase during which the stimulated paw actually accomplished the placing reaction.
(9) Tiny, tiny... rodents – some soft and grey, some brown with black stripes, in paintings, posters, wallcharts, thumb-tacked magazine clippings and poorly executed crayon drawings, hurling themselves fatally in their thousands over the cliff of their island home; or crudely taxidermied and mounted, eyes glazed and little paws frozen stiff – on every available surface.
