Pulley


Definition:

  • (v. t.) A wheel with a broad rim, or grooved rim, for transmitting power from, or imparting power to, the different parts of machinery, or for changing the direction of motion, by means of a belt, cord, rope, or chain.

Example Sentences:

  • (2) The traumatic agent is the sudden extension while the finger is holding an object and the flexor digitorum profundus is strongly contracted: the tendon retracts and the stump can be found either at the distal pulley, at the bifurcation of the superficialis tendon, or in the palm of the hand.
