Example sentences for: resistive
How can you use “resistive” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
While in various circumstances the mesenteric veins display a greater responsiveness to contractile stimuli than the corresponding arteries [ 5 21 ] , this difference should be attributed to the specificity of the neuroeffector coupling, or to signal transduction mechanisms underlying the functional distinctions between capacitative and resistive regions of the mesenteric circulation.
The importance of this analogy is that the plateau response is dependent on both the system's resistive and capacitative components.
It remains to be determined whether the relatively bigger amount of caldesmon and TM-α is advantageous for the artery in fulfilling resistive functions, and whether more TM-β is a prerequisite for veins to fulfill capacitative functions in the mesenteric circulation.
The CBF response curve to acetazolamide can be considered like a high pass filter with an onset time constant to a steady state τ 1 and an offset time constant of τ 2 . Alteration and prolongation of τ 2 will correspond to prolonged cerebral vascular response time . An important concept of a high pass filter is that the system response is dependent on both the resistive (R) and capacitative (C) elements.
Differences in smooth muscle layer thickness, however, do not always satisfactorily explain why in some instances, including stimulation of postganglionic nerve terminals, veins are more responsive than corresponding arteries [ 3 4 5 6 ] . Although differences in the type and amount of neurotransmitters, receptor density and/or sensitivity for neurotransmitter action, or signal transduction mechanisms that couple membrane receptors to the contractile elements have been proposed to underlie the functional distinctions between capacitative and resistive regions of the mesenteric circulation, the possibility that mesenteric artery and vein convey distinct expression levels of contractile proteins has not been ruled out.
