Tympanites
Definition:
(n.) A flatulent distention of the belly; tympany.
Example Sentences:

Tympany
Definition:
(n.) A flatulent distention of the belly; tympanites.

(2) With the aid of analysis of afferent impulse activity in the cat chorda tympani, it was shown that the effect of application of organic acids solutions of the same pH to the tongue could be represented as follows: propionic acid greater than lactic acid greater than pyruvic acid.
(3) The threshold functions differ from those observed in patients with scala tympani electrodes, primarily at low sinusoidal frequencies and long pulse widths.
(4) At the same time the data are obtained on variations in topography of the chorda tympani at various form of the intratemporal fossa.
(5) One group of rats was tested both before and after bilateral removal of the chorda tympani.
(6) Each mastoid and epitympanum was extensively involved with chronically inflamed tissue which surrounded the ossicles and chorda tympani nerve.
(7) Both chorda tympani of these and 4 control mice were later excised.
