early deceleration in fetal heart rate monitoring, a transient decrease in heart rate that coincides with the onset of a uterine contraction. late deceleration in fetal heart rate monitoring, a transient decrease in heart rate occurring at or after the peak of a uterine contraction, which may indicate fetal hypoxia.
DIFFERENCES:   Internal regulators only respond only to the inside, while external  regulators respond only to the outside.   SIMILARITIES:   Both internal and exâ¦ternal regulators can stop their processes.
Engineers determine the loads or external forces that act upon a structure. When external forces are applied to a structure, internal stresses (internal forces) develop resistance to the outside forces. The opposition of external and internal forces is what holds the structure together.
