What's the difference between subserve and subserved?
Subserve
Definition:
(v. t.) To serve in subordination or instrumentally; to be subservient to; to help forward; to promote.
(v. i.) To be subservient or subordinate; to serve in an inferior capacity.
Example Sentences:
(1) Previous experiments using natural stimuli have provided evidence that the VOR is subserved by parallel pathways, including some that are modified during learning and some that are not.
(2) We searched for neurons in the segmental nervous system that subserved shortening behavior, expecting to find at least one interneuron in each segment that was involved in shortening behavior exclusively.
(3) Subpopulations of DRG neurones that subserve distinct sensory modalities project to discrete regions in the dorsal horn.
(4) In this study of the young chick we examine the effects of unilateral or bilateral eye enucleation on the number of axons in the supraoptic decussation, a major interhemispheric tract subserving visual function.
(5) Dietary restriction reduces circulating gonadotropin and testosterone levels in male rats, an effect thought to be mediated through reduced gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion; however, the cellular mechanisms subserving this response are still unknown.
(6) We wondered whether a chemical substance which has the ability to block Ca2+ channels, neurotransmitter release, intracellular Ca2+ release and the NMDA-glutamate receptor channel, viz., Mg2+, might block the PCP receptor which subserves cerebral contractile events and thereby prevent rupture of microvessels.
(7) A set of vocalization was used to calculate the kernels of the transformation, and these kernels subserved to predict the responses of the cell to a different set of vocalizations.
(8) B1 and B2 receptors appear to present in endothelium (B2) and in smooth muscles (B2, B1) of a variety of isolated vessels of the dog and the rabbit, where they subserve both stimulatory and inhibitory effects.
(10) Testing indicates impairment of a variety of functions normally subserved by the right cerebral hemisphere.
(11) These data suggest that the renal vasodilator response to bradykinin is subserved by arachidonic acid metabolites as well as nitric oxide, the former accounting for up to 70% of the vasodilator effect of bradykinin.
(12) These data demonstrate that a small number of base changes between hGH and hCS promoter sequences subserve a number of mechanisms which may differentially modulate the expression of hGH and hCS genes.
(13) The neural substrates for the ingestive responses that subserve independent ingestion are only minimally present in infant mice or are somehow inhibited.
(14) Nevertheless, composition of the motor cortex units involved in subserving the behaviour changed because of recruitment [correction of recrutation] of one cells (from V-VI layers of the cortex) in this process and exclusion of other ones (from II-IV layers).
(15) The quantitative and topographical differences in the origin of mossy fibers suggest that these lobules may subserve slightly different functions.
(16) Lastly, the basis common to neurologic factors subserving learning disability and emotional dysfunction is explored.
(17) Different brain pathways have been shown to subserve the therapeutic effects of neuroleptics and their extrapyramidal side effects.
(18) Despite the existence of numerous investigative attempts, a precise understanding of the hormonal events subserving this process has proved elusive.
(19) The tertiary zones of the right parietal cortex appear to be the structural system most likely to subserve complex positive affects.
(20) Since such Na+ reabsorption is subserved by sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na-K ATPase), the current study compared the acute effects of hydrocortisone (H), cyclosporine, and FK506 on cultured LLC-PK1 cell viability and on Na-K ATPase activity.
