The skin reflexes were also more marked on the left side, especially the reflex of the tensor of the fascia lata.
A, Curette inserted round handle of malleus; B, Curette pushed upwards, in act of cutting through tendon of tensor tympani muscle.
This, perhaps, may be possible if it is combined with other intratympanic operations, such as division of the anterior ligament or of the tensor tympani muscle.
In the case of the malleus there may be some resistance owing to the attachment of the tendon of the tensor tympani muscle.
If a Delstanche’s ring-knife has been used, this may be due to the tensor tympani not having been cut through; this should now be done.
It is then pushed gradually upwards, keeping as close to the posterior border of the malleus as possible, until it cuts through the attachment of the tensor tympani.
After cutting through the tensor tympani muscle, the loop of the snare is threaded over the head of the malleus and guided upwards until it embraces its neck.
If much resistance be felt, probably the tensor tympani muscle has not been cut through, and another attempt should be made to do this before trying further extraction.
For example, retraction of the tympanic membrane may be due to closure of the Eustachian tube; to adhesions between it and the promontory; to contraction of the tensor tympani, of the anterior ligament, or of the posterior fold.
The advantage of this instrument is, that once the knife has encircled the malleus it should be possible not only to cut through the tensor tympani, but to extract the bone itself without the use of any other instrument.
Morey, for instance, would never have developed the autointegral calculus, to say nothing of tensor and spinor calculus, which were developed two hundred years ago, without the knowledge of the problems of space to develop the need.
I Three men sat around a table which was littered with graphs, sketches of mathematical functions, and books of tensor formulae.
The chief physiological antagonistics of the glutei are the quadriceps femoris and tensor fascia lata.
The band is usually derived from the fascia lata, sometimes reinforced by the anterior fibres of the gluteus maximus, sometimes by the tensor fasciæ femoris.
Fauvel who gave our wine the very striking and exact title of "Tensor of the vocal cords.
Hence his apt qualification of the drug, "a tensor par excellence of the vocal cords.
For the next octave the cords are stretched longer and longer; this may be explained by the increasing force of contraction of the tensor muscle stretching the cords and the contained muscle, which is also contracted.
As the scale is ascended the photographs show that the cords become longer and tenser, which we may presume is due to the continued action of the tensor muscle.
In the production of chest notes the whole vocal cord is vibrating, the difference in the pitch depending upon the tension produced by the contraction of the tensor (ring-shield) muscle.
Further, it makes tense the aponeurosis into which it is inserted; this explains the name of tensor of the fascia of the forearm, which is sometimes given to it.
The first is visible on the anterior border of the thigh, in front of the tensor of the fascia lata, but below it inclines inwards; in its superior part also, a small extent of the internal surface is occupied by it.
The tensor of the fascia lata flexes the thigh, and serves to raise the lower limb as a whole.
Muscles of the Anterior Region First we recall that in man the anterior muscles of the thigh are: the triceps cruris, the tensor of the fascia lata, and the sartorius.
It is covered in front by the tensor of the fascia lata, and contributes with the vastus externus to form the upper prominence of the knee.
Tensor broke in asking, "What is all this talk now?

Now it seemed that Tensor was regressing in some obscure way to his own level, a tragic and uncivilized situation.
The administrator's concern amused Tensor and, as his mood lightened, the drizzle abated and the sky became clear again.
Illustration] Tensorsmiled at the poor, dumb creature and was rewarded by a disgustingly loud noise from its mouth and a mad rush back to the panel.
Tensor floated over and peered into the stumps, examining the composition and structure.
Tensor contemplated the thought with great interest, for obviously they used mechanical skill to compensate for lack of direct control.
He left, and Tensorcontinued to stare unconsciously at the brilliant, deep violet of the sky, noting without appreciation the jewel-like points of light that were the stars.
Tensor let out his pent-up breath explosively and ran his tongue over his lips, tasting the mixture of saliva and lipstick.
For that, imagine a string stretched by a weight and passing over a pulley; we shall say that the tensor of the two legs of the string is the same and equal to the tension weight.
It should be justified by showing that the tension of the last piece of the string remains the same for the same tensor weight, whatever be the number and the disposition of the reflecting pulleys.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "tensor" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
