What's the difference between saccade and saccate?
Saccade
Definition:
(n.) A sudden, violent check of a horse by drawing or twitching the reins on a sudden and with one pull.
Example Sentences:
(1) This series of tests included tests for pathologic nystagmus, saccades, smooth pursuit, and optokinetic nystagmus, as well as bithermal caloric testing and rotational testing.
(2) The following oculomotor paradigms were investigated: horizontal and vertical saccades of different sizes (10-80 degrees), smooth pursuit eye movements, optokinetic and vestibular nystagmus.
(3) Many subjects have a negative spike in the beginning of a saccade in electro-oculographic signals.
(4) In one group of patients peak eye movement velocities alone were measured during horizontal refixation saccades.
(5) Abducting saccades, which were slightly hypometric, displayed a marked postsaccadic centripetal drift.
(6) When delta phi was enlarged, first saccades were either directed near the green or the red spot (bistable response mode).
(7) The position of the visual receptive field of these neurons did not change after saccadic eyes displacements, but remained in-register with the tactile receptive field.
(8) If the fixation point remained visible (overlap condition), very short (100 ms) and rather long (220 ms) latency saccades were observed.
(9) (b) Does the parafoveal processing of words affect the following interword saccade?
(10) We concluded that VDI may be a very useful index in detecting subtle disorders in saccades conjugacy.
(11) When an observer moves his arm he shows more precise visual tracking of a target mounted on his fingertip-the eye lags behind the target less and makes fewer corrective saccades-than when he relaxes his arm and the experimenter moves it in a similar manner.
(12) Although we found clear and consistent subject-specific differences, the most common pattern in oblique visually-guided (i.e., fast) saccades reflected early dominance of the horizontal velocity signal as expressed in saccade trajectories curving away from the horizontal axis.
(13) Three units showed eye position-related tonic discharges with saccadic bursts.
(14) Analysis of our patient's behavior indicates that many types of saccadic oscillations can be explained and classified by assuming an abnormality of pause cell control over saccadic burst neurons.
(15) A computerized pattern recognition algorithm divided pursuit eye movements into two basic components: smooth pursuit and saccadic eye movements.
(16) In one subject, compensatory saccadic eye movements corrected a consistent directional asymmetry in the slow-phase response.
(17) We report a 73-year-old patient with an eye movement disorder characterized by paralysis of saccades and pursuit.
(18) Text in which familiar patterns of letters were destroyed, either by changing letter-order or letter-orientation, was read by sequences of small (less than 30') saccades made to look at every letter, or every alternate letter.
(19) The low-threshold region from which saccadic eye movements could be evoked with currents less than 10 microA was confined to lobule VII in two monkeys and it included a posterior part of lobule VI (lobule VIc) in another monkey.
(20) During the drug holidays, visually guided saccades were hypometric and had long latencies but retained a normal saccade velocity-amplitude relationship.
Saccate
Definition:
(a.) Having the form of a sack or pouch; furnished with a sack or pouch, as a petal.
(a.) Of or pertaining to the Saccata, a suborder of ctenophores having two pouches into which the long tentacles can be retracted.
Example Sentences:
(1) The Authors demonstrated the presence of tumour cells by an in vitro culture of the cells from the pellet of a postoperative saccate effusion, when no tumor cells were evident by the cytologic examination of the effusion.
(2) The usefulness of ultrasonic studies for guiding the needle during biopsy of solid lesions or evacuation of saccate effusions and empyemas.
(3) Companulates from clone B respond regularly to saccate but only rarely to cruciform or campanulate clonemates; the same predators typically respond to cruciforms and campanulates from clone C. Cruciforms from clone C rarely respond to saccate and cruciform clonemates but readily attack all morphotypes from clone B.
(4) It differs from both genera in being ovoid rather than elongate, in having a coiled rather than saccate internal seminal vesicle, and having no viteline follicles between the gonads.
(5) The cruciform and especially the campanulate morphotypes are larger than the saccate morphotype and are cannibalistic.
(6) The morphology of saccate, cruciform, and campanulate females of Asplanchna sieboldi was analyzed by light and electron microscopy.
(7) Campanulate females did, however, possess larger secretory granules in their gastric gland as well as larger and more numerous nuclei in their gastric and yolk glands than both saccate and cruciform females.
(8) They included meandering of the presynaptic membrane, formation of vacuoles by the presynaptic membrane, saccate projection of this membrane to the postsynapse, and changes in vacuoles which were torn off and fell into the dendrite.
(9) These insulin-induced saccated membrane areas appeared to become integrated into the cell surface.
