  • (18) The pressure was changed mechanically, either by clamping external circulations or, in some cases, by modifying the frequency of a pulsatory pump placed in series with the heart, thus ensuring constant blood flows in the ventral aorta.
  • (19) A suprathreshold level of extracellular cAMP is needed to elicit relay which consists in a pulsatory synthesis of intracellular cAMP.

Rhythmic


Definition:

  • (a.) Alt. of Rhythmical

Example Sentences:

  • (1) administration of the potent short-acting opioid, fentanyl, elicited inhibition of rhythmic spontaneous reflex increases in vesical pressure (VP) evoked by urinary bladder distension.
  • (2) The observation that phase reversals did not occur in area 29, together with the low incidence of phasic (rhythmic) theta-on cells, suggests that the posterior cingulate cortex does not independently generate type 2 theta.
  • (3) Preliminary rhythmic somatic stimulation has a predominantly facilitating effect on EPs appearing in response to tonal stimuli in the areas A1, S2, S1.
  • (4) We conclude that the pacemaker cells are necessary for rhythmic contractile activity and that cells outside this region do not contract spontaneously.
  • (5) Under best possible conditions of oxygen supply but in a later stage of perfusion, contractility during rhythmical stimulation is depressed more at lower than at higher rates.
  • (6) These data suggest that SCN plays a significant role in controlling the rhythmic activity of LHA, VMN and the pineal gland.
  • (7) Some organization schemes concerning locomotor and scratching rhythmicity generators are considered, such as: two half-centres with reciprocal inhibitory connections and tonic excitatory influences on these half-centres: two half-centres with inhibitory-excitatory connections and tonic excitatory influences on one half-centre; ring structures consisting of more than two functional groups of neurons with excitatory and inhibitory connections between them.
  • (8) It is shown that when a constant current is applied such that a stable equilibrium and rhythmic firing are present, the following predictions are inherent in the HH system of equations: (a) Small instantaneous voltage perturbations to the axon given at points along its firing spike result in phase resetting curves (when new phase versus old phase is plotted) with an average slope of 1.
  • (9) The relaxation achieved by rhythmic photoacoustic effects with the help of the device pre-supposes the regulation of the patient's respiration.
