relaxation |
A state of relative freedom from both anxiety and skeletal muscle tension. (16 Dec 1997) |

relaxation factor |
Substance presumably involved in the return of muscle fibrils to the resting state after nervous stimulation ceases, postulated to act by withdrawing Calcium from myosin-ATPase sites. (05 Mar 2000) |
relaxation response |
An integrated hypothalamic reaction resulting in decreased sympathetic nervous system activity which, physiologically and psychologically, is almost a mirror image of the body's response's to Cannon's emergency theory (flight or fight response); can be self-induced through the use of techniques associated with transcendental meditation, yoga, and biofeedback. See: emergency theory. (05 Mar 2000) |
relaxation suture |
A suture so arranged that it may be loosened if the tension of the wound becomes excessive. (05 Mar 2000) |
relaxation techniques |
The use of muscular relaxation techniques in treatment. (12 Dec 1998) |
relaxation time |
Time taken for a system to return to the resting or ground state or a new equilibrium state following perturbation. Often used in context of receptor systems that have a refractory period after responding and then relax to a competent state. Can be used more precisely to mean the time for a system to change from its original equilibrium value to 1/e of this original value. (18 Nov 1997) |

(physiology) the gradual lengthening of inactive muscle or muscle fibers (physics) the exponential return of a system to equilibrium after a disturbance easiness: a feeling of refreshing tranquility and an absence of tension or worry; "the easiness we feel when sleeping" an occurrence of control or strength weakening; "the relaxation of requirements"; "the loosening of his grip"; "the slackening of the wind" rest: freedom from activity (work or strain or responsibility); "took his repose by the swimming pool" a method of solving simultaneous equations by guessing a solution and then reducing the errors that result by successive approximations until all the errors are less than some specified amount liberalization: the act of making less strict

relaxation
|
An outmoded EDM power supply circuit which uses capacitors to store the charge that produces the spark at the gap. The capacitor is charged through a resistor and discharged across the gap when conditions are correct (gap distance, voltage, etc.). This is the original EDM circuit and is seldom used in advanced machines.
