MUSCLE POTENTIAL [4 records]

Record 1 2017-04-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electrodiagnosis
  • The Heart
DEF

The making of graphic records of the variations in electrical potential caused by electrical activity of the heart muscle and detected at the body surface, as a method for studying the action of the heart muscle.

French

Record 2 2011-01-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
  • Medication
Universal entry(ies)
C14H10N4O5
formula, see observation
7261-97-4
CAS number
CONT

Dantrolene causes skeletal muscle relaxation through a direct effect on the muscle. This action appears to be due to a reduction of calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in response to the muscle action potential.

OBS

Chemical formula: C14H10N4O5

  • Éléments et composés chimiques

Entrée(s) universelle(s)
C14H10N4O5
formula, see observation
7261-97-4
CAS number
CONT

Le dantrolène produit la relaxation du muscle strié par un effet direct sur le muscle. Il semblerait que cette action soit le résultat d'une réduction de la quantité de calcium libéré du réticulum sarcoplasmique en réponse au potentiel d'action du muscle.

Record 3 2004-01-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medical and Surgical Equipment
DEF

A graphic record of a physical event, as an electrocardiograph tracing made by pens on a moving sheet or paper while recording the electric impulses of heart muscle contractions.

CONT

A graphic tracing of the variations in electrical potential caused by the excitation of the heart muscle and detected at the body surface.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Équipement médico-chirurgical
CONT

Un tracé E.E.G. normal est fait d'ondes dont l'aspect varie en fonction de l'état de vigilance. (Domart, Bourneuf. Petit Larousse de la médecine. Librairie Larousse, Paris, 1976, p. 363)

Record 4 2003-03-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Regulations and Standards (Food)
  • Slaughterhouses
DEF

The general outline of the muscle formation of a livestock carcass.

OBS

Although muscle depth is now included in the grading formula, its influence is minor. Because of this, a very large difference in muscling would be required to affect carcass index, therefore, the drawbacks of selecting for increased muscling are greater than the potential benefits.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Réglementation et normalisation (Alimentation)
  • Abattoirs
DEF

Aspect général du développement musculaire d'une carcasse de bétail.
