What's the difference between sensor and sensory?

Sensor


Definition:

  • (a.) Sensory; as, the sensor nerves.

Example Sentences:

  • (7) During the surgery for the purpose of removal of the tumor, needle type-O2 sensors were inserted into femoral artery and in brain tumor to measure PaO2 and intratumoral O2 pressure.
  • (8) During the measurement, the values of previously selected features of sensor output signal are determined; then they serve as the input data for computation of concentrations of glucose and of interfering substances.
  • (9) Efforts to obtain long term, reliable direct measurements of blood pressures have not been successful because of blood clotting impairing the function of sensors, baseline drift, artifacts on measurements, and health hazard-related catheterization.
  • (10) The algorithm is an improvement over the sphere model in that it considers two distinct surfaces: an ellipsoid, to model the region of the skull on which the sensors are placed, and a sphere as the medium in which the current dipole model is considered.
  • (11) An electromagnetic flow sensor was placed around the middle uterine artery and electromyogram electrodes were attached to the uterus.
  • (12) This sensor has been used in flow injection to determine oxalate, alkylamines, and NADH.
  • (13) When the glass pH electrode data were above 5.1, the pH sensor tended to show lower pH values than glass pH electrode.
  • (14) The sensor's hysteresis is about 8 percent at 40 degrees Celsius (C) and 12 percent at 20 degrees C. The sensor has a maximal nonlinearity of 8 percent and a worst-case nonrepeatibility of 7 percent.
  • (15) All ports were successfully placed under local anesthesia, with catheter tip location determined by an electronic sensor wand.
  • (16) The GCN4 protein mediates the response of the transcriptional apparatus to the environmental signal 'amino acid limitation', while PHO2 seems to be the phosphate sensor that adjusts the response to the availability of phosphate precursors.
  • (17) The non-specific sensor response may be reduced by a combination of biologic sensors.
  • (18) These data imply that GTP-binding proteins (G-proteins) are not involved in coupling the voltage sensors to Ca2+ release in skeletal muscle.
  • (19) A ventricular rate responsive pacemaker was implanted in all patients, with sensors responsive to muscular activity in one patient, and to minute ventilation in three.
  • (20) A single combined transcutaneous sensor for PO2 and PCO2 was evaluated in a neonatal intensive care unit.

Sensory


Definition:

  • (a.) Of or pertaining to the sensorium or sensation; as, sensory impulses; -- especially applied to those nerves and nerve fibers which convey to a nerve center impulses resulting in sensation; also sometimes loosely employed in the sense of afferent, to indicate nerve fibers which convey impressions of any kind to a nerve center.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Symptomatic improvement was obtained in 14 of the 15 hands, and sensory-evoked response improved in 13 hands.
  • (2) The earliest degenerative changes were seen in sensory and motor terminals at 20-24 h after the lesion.
  • (3) We assumed that the sensory messages received at a given level are transformed by a stochastic process, called Alopex, in a way which maximizes responses in central feature analyzers.
  • (4) These later results suggest that dopamine agonists increase sensorimotor reactivity measured with acoustic startle by acting on sensory rather than motor parts of the reflex arc.
  • (5) Sensory loss, motor weakness, paraesthesia and a new pain were found as complications in 12, 7, 4 and 6 patients, respectively.
  • (6) Of 533 myelinated sensory fibers, the size range was 2 micron.
  • (7) We have investigated the temporal pattern of appearance, cell lineage, and cytodifferentiation of selected sensory organs (sensilla) of adult Drosophila.
  • (8) These results suggest that, to fully understand how multijoint movement sequences are controlled by the nervous system, sensory mechanisms must be considered in addition to central mechanisms.
  • (9) The peptide selectively inhibits certain postsynaptic cells but not others and thereby allows the sensory neurons to achieve target-specific synaptic actions.
  • (10) This contrasts sharply with the reduction in both the frequency and surface area of sensory neuron active zones that accompanies long-term habituation, and suggests that modulation of active zone number and size may be an anatomical correlate that lies in the long-term domain.
  • (11) We report that kainic acid lesions of the posterior corpus striatum, which preferentially spare fibers of passage while destroying striatopallidal neurons, produce a stimulus-sensitive movement pattern in rats that has a highly specific sensory trigger.
  • (12) We conclude that the procedure used in this study is a non-intrusive intervention that is an extension of the current literature pertaining to sensory extinction.
  • (13) Using serial-sectioning techniques for conventional transmission and high-voltage electron microscopy, we characterized the ultrastructural features and synaptic contacts of the sensory cell in tentacles of Hydra.
  • (14) From the area between the papillae sensory endings appearing in sections to be either single, double or triple are described.
  • (15) This unbearable situation leads to panic and auto-sensory deprivation.
  • (16) The record includes postoperative drawings of the intraoperative field by Dr. Cushing, a sketch by Dr. McKenzie illustrating the postoperative sensory examination, and pre- and postoperative photographs of the patient.
  • (17) The first spinal nerve and the spinal accessory nerve (XI) have no sensory projections, but the second spinal nerve has typical projections along the dorsal funiculus of the spinal cord.
