A contraction is a shortened version of the spoken and written forms of a word, syllable, or word group, created by omission of internal letters and sounds.. In linguistic analysis, contractions should not be confused with crasis, abbreviations and initialisms (including acronyms), with which they share some semantic and phonetic functions, though all three are connoted by the term ...
As for whether y'all'dn't've is a real contraction, the closest thing I've heard to it is the slurring of "You wouldn't've" at the beginning of a sentence. I think y'all'dn't've would make no sense if spoken as it lacks the wou sound, and so ends up sounding like ya'll didn't've which is not a valid contraction. "Didn't have" works, but "didn't ...
Generally, repeated contraction of the muscle can alleviate the myotonia and relax the muscles thus improving the condition, however, this is not the case in paramyotonia congenita. This phenomenon is known as the "warm-up" reflex [ 8 ] and is not to be confused with warming up before exercise, though they may appear similar.
Peristalsis (/ ˌ p ɛr ɪ ˈ s t æ l s ɪ s / PERR-ih-STAL-siss, US also /-ˈ s t ɔː l-/- STAWL-) [1] is a type of intestinal motility, characterized by radially symmetrical contraction and relaxation of muscles that propagate in a wave down a tube, in an anterograde direction. Peristalsis is progression of coordinated contraction of ...
There are two types of isotonic contractions: (1) concentric and (2) eccentric. In a concentric contraction, the muscle tension rises to meet the resistance, then remains the same as the muscle shortens. In eccentric, the muscle lengthens due to the resistance being greater than the force the muscle is producing. [citation needed]
To test the reflex, the muscle should be in a neutral position. The muscle being tested needs to be flexed for the clinician to locate the tendon. After the muscle is relaxed, the clinician strikes the tendon. The response should be contraction of the muscle. If this is the knee jerk reflex, the clinician should observe a kick.
