Definition of tetanic in English: tetanicadjective tɪˈtanɪktɛˈtænɪk Relating to or characteristic of tetanus, especially in connection with tonic muscle spasm. Example sentencesExamples - Moreover, angiotensin II infusion has been shown to increase tetanic tension in rat hind-limb preparations.
- The abscissa indicates the time after the start of tetanic stimulation.
- Tetanus infection can cause production of a neurotoxin, leading to tetanic muscle contractions.
- However, the changes in mouse muscle seem to be complete within 100-120 ms, i.e., no later than the achievement of the tetanic plateau.
- Clearly, tetanic stimulation of the quadriceps muscle is not feasible in unanesthetized human subjects.
- Figs. 11 and 12 compare the time courses of changes of intensities and spacings of representative reflections with that of tension in a single tetanic contraction-relaxation cycle.
- Three days after being given intravenous zoledronic acid, he had tetanic spasms and paraesthesia.
- We performed the procedure using electrical rather than high potassium stimulation, because it yields a closer representation of the physiological condition found during tetanic stimulation.
- To verify that the stimulation by itself was insufficient to elicit this type of response, we tested two different protocols, low-frequency and tetanic high-frequency stimulations.
- The diaphragm muscle specimens showed complete tetanic contractions in response to a train of electrical pulses at room temperature (23 [degrees] C).
- At the first sign of overdosage, such as tetanic contractions or fetal distress, Pitocin should be discontinued, and the patient treated with symptomatic and support therapy.
- Ryanodine has complex effects on muscle contractile activity; it was reported to depress twitch and tetanic tension, and to induce a slowly developing contracture.
- The ratio of peak twitch force to peak tetanic force could then be calculated.
- Yet, previously only an insignificant change in intensity distribution was found in some studies on frog muscle between relaxation and tetanic contraction and during contraction at low versus high temperature.
- Paitoon, a mango farmer, was admitted to Manorom Christian Hospital with tetanic convulsions.
Derivatives adverb When these units relax, another fraction contracts tetanically thereby maintaining a nearly constant tension in the whole muscle. Example sentencesExamples - We investigated the influence of hyperoxia on O2 uptake in tetanically contracting canine gastrocnemius.
- These results suggest that in normal medium both single and tetanically evoked mossy fiber calcium responses are inhibited by released zinc, with the single-field potentials remaining unaltered.
- Finally, the structural and metabolic characteristics of the tetanically stimulated muscles are restored to values that allow electrically supported standing up and standing.
- A long-lasting birefringence change (the delayed response) was found to be produced in a tetanically stimulated squid giant axon.
Origin Early 18th century: via Latin from Greek tetanikos, from tetanos (see tetanus).
