	involuntary muscle involuntary muscle (smooth muscle) Muscle whose activity is not under the control of the will; it is supplied by the autonomic nervous system. Involuntary muscle comprises long spindle-shaped cells without striations. These cells occur singly, in groups, or as sheets in the skin, around hair... Read more
	biofeedback biofeedback method for learning to increase one's ability to control biological responses, such as blood pressure, muscle tension, and heart rate. Sophisticated instruments are often used to measure physiological responses and make them apparent to the patient, who then tries to alter and... Read more

	tranquilizer tranquilizer drug whose action calms the central nervous system , decreasing emotional agitation without impairing alertness. Tranquilizing drugs differ from hypnotic drugs such as barbiturates in that they do not act on the brain's cortical areas but rather on its lower portions, e.g., the ... Read more
	anaerobic anaerobic Applying to metabolism in the cells of the body, or to micro-organisms, this means functioning without oxygen. Examples include anaerobic glycolysis: the pathway of hexose breakdown from glucose 6-phosphate to lactate in muscle, and the main component of the metabolism of red blood cells,... Read more
	Aphanitic Aphanitic Crystalline rocks with mineral grains that cannot be distinguished from one another without magnification have an aphanitic igneous texture. Igneous rocks form by crystallization of minerals from liquid magma rising into the upper portion of Earth's crust from the lower crust and... Read more
	Follow Through Follow Through The follow through comes after the hard stop segment of the cast. It is done to keep tension on the bottom leg of the loop so that the line will fire out at a fast speed. Releasing this line tension slows the cast down. The loop doesn’t unroll because the lower loop segment... Read more
	Motor skills Fine motor skills Definition Fine motor skills generally refer to the small movements of the hands, wrists, fingers, feet, toes, lips, and tongue. Description Motor skills are actions that involve the movement of muscles in the body. They are divided into two groups: gross motor skills , which... Read more
	mechanics mechanics branch of physics concerned with motion and the forces that tend to cause it; it includes study of the mechanical properties of matter , such as density , elasticity , and viscosity . Mechanics may be roughly divided into statics and dynamics ; statics deals with bodies at... Read more
