Oscillations are an important type of cell signaling characterized by the periodic change of the system in time. [1] Oscillations can take place in a biological system in a multitude of ways. Positive feedback loops, on their own or in combination with negative feedback are a common feature of oscillating biological systems. [2]
A sinus rhythm is any cardiac rhythm in which depolarisation of the cardiac muscle begins at the sinus node. [1] It is necessary, but not sufficient, for normal electrical activity within the heart. [2] On the electrocardiogram (ECG), a sinus rhythm is characterised by the presence of P waves that are normal in morphology. [2]
Ethmoid sinus cavities which are located between the eyes. Frontal sinus cavities which can be found above the eyes (more in the forehead region). Maxillary sinus cavities are located on either side of the nostrils (cheekbone areas). Sphenoid sinuses that are located behind the eyes and lie in the deeper recesses of the skull.
The confluence of sinuses shows significant variation. [1] Most commonly, there is a continuous connection between all of the sinuses. [1] [2] A very common variant is the superior sagittal sinus only draining into the right transverse sinus - more rarely, it may also only drain into the left transverse sinus.
An undamped spring–mass system is an oscillatory system. Oscillation is the repetitive or periodic variation, typically in time, of some measure about a central value (often a point of equilibrium) or between two or more different states.
Tracing the y component of a circle while going around the circle results in a sine wave (red). Tracing the x component results in a cosine wave (blue). Both waves are sinusoids of the same frequency but different phases.
Sinus (anatomy), a sac or cavity in any organ or tissue Paranasal sinuses, air cavities in the cranial bones, especially those near the nose, including: Maxillary sinus, is the largest of the paranasal sinuses, under the eyes, in the maxillary bones; Frontal sinus, superior to the eyes, in the frontal bone, which forms the hard part of the forehead
The smallest number of generations it takes before the pattern returns to its initial condition is called the period of the oscillator. An oscillator with a period of 1 is usually called a still life, as such a pattern never changes. Sometimes, still lifes are not taken to be oscillators. Another common stipulation is that an oscillator must be ...
