What you feel in your wrist is a pulse. The pulse is caused by the heart pumping blood round your body.
Pulse
Pulse
This process is known as the pulse and is the result of the heart pumping blood into the arteries. As the heart contracts (systole), blood is pushed into the arteries causing them to expand. When the heart relaxes (diastole), the arteries recoil back to their original shape, creating a pulse that can be felt in different parts of the body.
The general opposite of contraction is expansion, or possibly inflation. For muscles, the opposite of contraction is relaxation.
A heartbeat is the contraction and relaxation of the heart muscle, while a pulse is the rhythmic expansion and contraction of an artery as blood is pumped through it by the heart.
Expansion is the antonym for contraction.
No, we use expansion and contraction to tell temperature(thermometer).
Expansion and Contraction - 1903 was released on: USA: January 1903
Allows for expansion and contraction of various systems
to allow for the thermal expansion or contraction
The general opposite of to contract is to expand.In terms of biology, an opening would dilate (widen) as opposed to contracting or narrowing in size.For a muscle, the opposite of contract would be relax.
The opposite of expansion is contraction. For an activity where expansion is simply an increase, the opposite can be reduction.
