  2. Kinesiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinesiology

    Kinesiology (from Ancient Greek κίνησις (kínēsis) 'movement' and -λογία-logía 'study of') is the scientific study of human body movement. Kinesiology addresses physiological , anatomical , biomechanical , pathological , neuropsychological principles and mechanisms of movement.

  3. Kinesics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinesics

    In a current application, kinesic behavior is sometimes used as signs of deception by interviewers looking for clusters of movements to determine the veracity of the statement being uttered, although kinesics can be equally applied in any context and type of setting to construe innocuous messages whose carriers are indolent or unable to express verbally.

  4. Kinetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetics

    Flip-flop kinetics, the pharmacokinetics of sustained-release or extended-release drug formulations; Toxicokinetics, the branch of pharmacokinetics dealing with compounds that are toxic or can be administered in toxic doses; Human kinetics or kinesiology, the study of human biomechanical movement; C 0 t analysis, also known as DNA recombination ...

  5. Pharmacokinetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmacokinetics

    Pharmacokinetics (from Ancient Greek pharmakon "drug" and kinetikos "moving, putting in motion"; see chemical kinetics), sometimes abbreviated as PK, is a branch of pharmacology dedicated to describing how the body affects a specific substance after administration. [1]

  6. Rigid body dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body_dynamics

    In the physical science of dynamics, rigid-body dynamics studies the movement of systems of interconnected bodies under the action of external forces.The assumption that the bodies are rigid (i.e. they do not deform under the action of applied forces) simplifies analysis, by reducing the parameters that describe the configuration of the system to the translation and rotation of reference ...

  7. Kinematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematics

    Kinematics is a subfield of physics and mathematics, developed in classical mechanics, that describes the motion of points, bodies (objects), and systems of bodies (groups of objects) without considering the forces that cause them to move.

  8. Kinetic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy

    The adjective kinetic has its roots in the Greek word κίνησις kinesis, meaning "motion".The dichotomy between kinetic energy and potential energy can be traced back to Aristotle's concepts of actuality and potentiality.

  9. Clearance (pharmacology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearance_(pharmacology)

    Clearance is variable in zero-order kinetics because a constant amount of the drug is eliminated per unit time, but it is constant in first-order kinetics, because the amount of drug eliminated per unit time changes with the concentration of drug in the blood. [3] [4]
