Parasympathetic (vagal) nerves leave the vagal nuclei within the medulla as preganglionic efferent vagal fibers. These preganglionic efferent fibers are relatively long and do not synapse until they reach their target organ (e.g., the heart).
medical Definition of isovolumetric : of, relating to, or characterized by unchanging volume; especially: relating to or being an early phase of ventricular systole in which the cardiac muscle exerts increasing pressure on the contents of the ventricle without significant change in the muscle fiber length and the ventricular volume remains constant
Magnetostrictive: Deformation of a ferromagnetic material (such as iron and steel) subjected to a magnetic field. Piezoelectric Transducers. The conversion of electrical pulses to mechanical vibrations and the conversion of returned mechanical vibrations back into electrical energy is the basis for ultrasonic testing. The active element is the heart of the transducer as it converts the electrical energy to acoustic energy, and vice versa.
