In physiology, medicine, and anatomy, muscle tone (residual muscle tension or tonus) is the continuous and passive part contraction of the muscles, or the muscle's resistance to passive stretch during resting state.

Histology The aorta is an elastic artery, and as such is quite distensible.

Hooke's law of elasticity states that the extension of an elastic rod (its distended length minus its relaxed length) is linearly proportional to its tension, the force used to stretch it.

Tension.

We store potential energy to the elastic skin to make it move.

Carbon steel, composed simply of iron and carbon, accounts for 90 of steel production.

Danger! High voltage.

Though energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system, it can be converted to another form of energy.

There was tension in my wire, but I also could feel tension on the ground.

Thus the input voltage approximately equals the voltage across the resistor.

increase of blood pressure.

When the output voltage is above the desired voltage, it turns off the switch.

Recent upheaval and political tension

It was a tense moment.

Can you feel the tension?

So that becomes a very powerful force for them to make their brand more elastic.

I remember, she had some sort of injury to her ankle, an Ace bandage, and she had crutches.

In the case of the capture spiral, it needs to be so stretchy to absorb the impact of flying prey.

The net effect is an inward force at its surface that causes water to behave as if its surface were covered with a stretched elastic membrane.

There is a constant tension in the air.

This type of surface tension is called interface tension , but its chemistry is the same.

Elections in Pakistan are a tense affair.

Well psychology actually says there is a tension a tension between self regarding behaviors and other regarding behaviors.

And we set this up as a live globe in the Museum of Modern Art in New York for the Design the Elastic Mind exhibition.

The chondrocytes are supplied by diffusion, helped by the pumping action generated by compression of the articular cartilage or flexion of the elastic cartilage.

We couldn't understand why you had a mountain under tension.

It was a day with plenty of tension on both sides.

In the 17th Century, this was not so.

The definitions may refer to the voltage between two conductors of a system, or between any conductor and ground.

An ideal current source would provide no energy to a short circuit and approach infinite energy and voltage as the load resistance approaches infinity (an open circuit).

So the idea is, all night long the elastic skin of the third lung will slowly inflate itself, including air and molecules, for sure.

Cartilage is classified in three types, elastic cartilage, hyaline cartilage and fibrocartilage, which differ in the relative amounts of these three main components.

See, he jumps. You can see what stress it must have.

if you have high blood pressure which is not properly controlled

you have low blood pressure or if your arteriovenous fistula has complications.

Tension is everywhere but the joy too.

) Another cause of marital tension (and later political tension) was his capriciousness he could rage against someone one day, and be extremely polite the next.

A downturn, however, usually exposes or sharpens latent social tension.

Amplified voltmeters often have an input resistance of 1, 10, or 20 megohms which is independent of the range selected.
