DictionarySeecurvestarlike region starlike region[′stär‚līk ‚rē·jən] (mathematics) A region in the complex number plane such that the line segment joining any of its points to the origin lies entirely in the region. Starling curve
Star·ling curve (star'ling), a graph in which cardiac output or stroke volume is plotted against mean atrial or ventricular end-diastolic pressure; with increasing venous return and atrial pressure the output proportionately increases until further increments overload the heart and the output falls. Synonym(s): Frank-Starling curveStar·ling curve (stahr'ling kŭrv) A graph in which cardiac output or stroke volume is plotted against mean atrial or ventricular end-diastolic pressure; with increasing venous return and atrial pressure, the output proportionately increases until further increments overload the heart and the output falls. Synonym(s): Frank-Starling curve. Starling, Ernest Henry, English physiologist, 1866-1927. Frank-Starling curve - Synonym(s): Starling curveStarling curve - a graph in which cardiac output or stroke volume is plotted against mean atrial or ventricular end-diastolic pressure. Synonym(s): Frank-Starling curveStarling equilibriumStarling hypothesisStarling law of the heart - the energy liberated by the heart when it contracts is a function of the length of its muscle fibers at the end of diastole. Synonym(s): law of the heartStarling law of the intestine - food causes a band of constriction proximally and relaxation distally, resulting in a peristaltic wave.Starling reflex - tapping the volar surfaces of the fingers causes flexion. |
