electro-, electr-, electri-

(Greek > Latin: electric, electricity)

From amber, resembling amber, generated from amber which when rubbed vigorously [as by friction], produced the effect of static electricity, as described by Dr. William Gilbert [1540-1603] in a treatise on the magnet in 1600.

electrodialysis

electrodynamic, electrodynamics

electrodynamics

electroencephalogram (EEG)

1. The record obtained by means of the electroencephalograph which presents a record of electric currents generated in the cortex of the active brain.
2. A visual record of the brain that is produced by echoencephalography.

electroencephalograph

An instrument that measures electrical potentials on the scalp and generates a record of the electrical activity of the brain.

electroencephalography

The recording of the electric currents developed in the brain, by means of electrodes applied to the scalp, to the surface of the brain (intracranial) or placed within the substance of the brain (depth).

electroendosmosis

Endosmosis under the influence of an electric field.

electroexcision

electrogastroenterostomy

electrogastrogram

A study in which the electrical current generated by the muscles of the stomach are sensed and recorded; therefore, it is similar to an electrocardiogram of the heart.

electrogastrograph

1. An instrument for recording the electrical activity of the stomach by means of swallowed gastric electrodes.
2. A graphic recording of the electrical phenomena associated with gastric secretion and movement.

electrogastrography

The recording of the electrical activity of the stomach as measured between its lumen (cavity) and the body surface.

electrogenesis

electrogoniometer

electrogram

Any record on paper or film made by an electrical event.
