What's the difference between repetitive and rhythmic?

Repetitive


Definition:

  • (a.) Containing repetition; repeating.

Example Sentences:

  • (17) This decrease was associated with a release of lactate and inorganic phosphate during the repetitive periods of reperfusion.
  • (18) His bundle recordings and premature atrial stimulation from coronary sinus, mid-right atrium and high-right atrium were performed in a patient with repetitive supraventricular tachycardias.
  • (19) The torques, although not large enough to dislodge the socket immediately, are repetitive and so may contribute to loosening.
  • (20) Dissociated culture of adult mouse dorsal root ganglion cells on glass plates, on which grating-associated microstructures (a repetition of microgrooves [mGRV] and microsteps [mSTP] of 0.1-10 micron) are fabricated by the conventional lithographic techniques, represents a remarkable bi-directional growth of their nerve fibers in the axial direction of the grating.

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.
  • (10) When initiated, the two rhythmic activities continued with no further external stimulation although the intraoral self-stimulation differed.
  • (11) The clinical risks of the reperfusion syndrome are low, practically never rhythmic and only exceptionally haemodynamic.
  • (12) Disruption of the rhythmic activity of the inspiratory neurons and its replacement by a continuous and irregular discharge may lead to sustained contraction of inspiratory muscles and cessation of respiration.
  • (13) The rhythmic waves induced by these ions were recorded in the olfactory bulb.
  • (14) Different repercussion of drug therapy on rhythmic profile of patients with CHF.
  • (15) The spontaneous rhythmic contraction (RC) occurred consistently in the preparation taken from the thoracic aorta without external stimuli.
  • (16) This difference, however, did not influence the detection of rhythmical ictal activity in cheek and sphenoidal montages in our study, nor the assignment of side, site or time of seizure onset by unbiased readers.
