How can you use “conduction” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The 1° afferents possessed higher conduction velocities (CV = 68.
Nociceptors are specialized primary afferent neurons and the first cells in the series of neurons that lead to the sensation of pain [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ] . The receptors in these cells can be activated by different noxious chemical or physical stimuli [ 9 10 11 ] . The essential functions of nociceptors include the transduction of noxious stimuli into depolarizations that trigger action potentials, conduction of action potentials from peripheral sensory sites to synapses in the central nervous system, and conversion of action potentials into neurotransmitter release at presynaptic terminals, all of which depend on ion channels [ 6 12 13 14 15 16 ] . Recent expression cloning has led to the identification of the first pain sensory receptor.
Cardiac conduction disturbance has also been recognized in the mitochondrial cytopathy, Kearns-Sayre syndrome (Mendelian inheritance in Man database *530000), characterized as progressive external ophthalmoplegia and retinopathy [ 16 ] . Clinical manifestations of cardiac disease occur in 57% of patients with Kearns-Sayre syndrome [ 17 ] . The complete AV block in Kearns-Sayre syndrome may also be associated less commonly with ventricular tachycardia, torsade de pointes and ventricular fibrillation as the ultimate and often fatal stage of the condition [ 18 ] . However, to our knowledge, ventricular tachycardia as a presenting feature has not been described in the context of mitochondrial cytopathies in the neonatal period.
Fatigue is associated with a compression of the PSD of the SEMG toward lower frequencies, from the very beginning of the voluntary contraction [ 5 ] . This is due to the reduction in the conduction velocity in direct relation with the muscular fiber membrane excitability and with neural adaptations, resulting in an increase of the lower frequency content of the signal.
In addition to DCM with conduction system disease and variable skeletal muscle involvement, mutations in the Lamin A/C gene [OMIM 150330] have been shown to cause autosomal dominant [ 11 ] and autosomal recessive [ 12 ] Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy (EDMD), autosomal dominant limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1B (LGMD) [ 13 ] , autosomal recessive type 2 Charcot-Marie Tooth type 2 [ 14 ] , familial partial lipodystrophy [ 15 16 ] , Mandibuloacral dysplasia [ 17 ] and Hutchinson-Gilford progeria [ 18 ] . The phenotypic spectrum from DCM to EDMD and limb girdle muscular dystrophy appears continuous.
