What's the difference between sensor and transmitter?

Sensor


Definition:

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

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Different measurements were repeated for five sensors.

  • (6) After every third inhalation trial and after the injection the rats were placed on a movement sensor for 3 min.
  • (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.

Transmitter


Definition:

  • (n.) One who, or that which, transmits; specifically, that portion of a telegraphic or telephonic instrument by means of which a message is sent; -- opposed to receiver.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate release from the treated side was higher than the control value during the first 2-3 h, a result indicating an important role of glial cells in the inactivation of released transmitter.
  • (2) In contrast, the effects of deltamethrin and cypermethrin promote transmitter release by a Na+ dependent process.
  • (3) Media made hyperosmotic with sucrose increase the frequency of spontaneously released quanta of transmitter, or miniature excitatory postsynaptic potentials (MEPSPs).
  • (4) Ruthenium red (RuR) inhibits Ca2+ uptake and transmitter release in synaptosomes, and produces flaccid paralysis when injected intraperitoneally (IP) and convulsions after intracranial administration.
  • (5) These findings suggest that AAT participates in the synthesis of transmitter aspartate in the medulla oblongata of the rat.
  • (6) Transmitter uptake capabilities were also affected by developmental exposure to SLP, as was tyrosine hydroxylase activity.
  • (7) Assays of isolated single sympathetic neurones show that their transmitter functions can be either adrenergic or cholinergic depending on growth conditions.
  • (8) Heart rates were obtained simultaneously from FM radio transmitters and heart rate monitors externally mounted on unanesthetized and unrestrained mixed-breed goats.
  • (9) It is concluded that catechol potentiates excitatory transmission at the LOT-superficial pyramidal cell synapse, possibly by increasing evoked transmitter release.
  • (10) These include the transmitter at intraganglionic synapses, transmitters of the pair of inhibitory and the two pairs of acceleratory fibers, and neurohormones released from the pericardial organs.
  • (11) Today's identification of four types and various sub-types of 5-HT receptors has revealed the extraordinary eclecticism of this transmitter which within migraine's clinical expression underscores that migraine sufferers are characterized by a marked sensitivity to all the drugs capable of acutely or chronically interacting with serotonin metabolism and binding with many serotonin receptor types and sub-types.
  • (12) The EMD was miniaturized by using rare earth magnets in the construction of both external transmitter and internal receiver.
  • (13) The results are taken to support a transmitter role for AVP in the rat hippocampus.
  • (14) GABA-immunogold reaction has revealed the presence of this inhibitory transmitter in most axon terminals containing ovoid-pleomorphic vesicles within the molecular layer, including those resembling climbing fiber-terminals.
  • (15) The fast effect is inhibited by raised Ca(2+), which does not inhibit transmitter release evoked by depolarizing pulses.
  • (16) Congenital generalized lipodystrophy is considered to be a diencephalic syndrome with disturbance of hypothalamic transmitters.
  • (17) The results suggest that substance P is the transmitter mediating the NANC contraction.
  • (18) Since cholinergic transmission is probably insignificant in the cerebellar cortex, the esterase itself might serve as a transmitter or modulator.
