Tetanus

What do we mean by tetanus?

An acute, often fatal disease characterized by spasmodic contraction of voluntary muscles, especially those of the neck and jaw, and caused by the toxin of the bacillus Clostridium tetani, which typically infects the body through a deep wound. noun

A state of continuous muscular contraction, especially when induced artificially by rapidly repeated stimuli. noun

A disease characterized by a more or less violent and rigid spasm of many or all of the muscles of voluntary motion. ; ; ; noun

In physiology, the state or condition of prolonged contraction which a muscle assumes under rapidly repeated stimuli. noun

A painful and usually fatal disease, resulting generally from a wound, and having as its principal symptom persistent spasm of the voluntary muscles. When the muscles of the lower jaw are affected, it is called locked-jaw, or lickjaw, and it takes various names from the various incurvations of the body resulting from the spasm. noun

That condition of a muscle in which it is in a state of continued vibratory contraction, as when stimulated by a series of induction shocks. noun

A serious and often fatal disease caused by the infection of an open wound with the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium tetani, found in soil and the intestines and faeces of animals. noun

A state of muscle tension caused by sustained contraction arising from a rapid series of nerve impulses which do not allow the muscle to relax. noun

A sustained muscular contraction resulting from a rapid series of nerve impulses noun

An acute and serious infection of the central nervous system caused by bacterial infection of open wounds; spasms of the jaw and laryngeal muscles may occur during the late stages noun

A serious and often fatal disease caused by the infection of an open wound with the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium tetani, found in soil and the intestines and faeces of animals.

A state of muscle tension caused by sustained contraction arising from a rapid series of nerve impulses which do not allow the muscle to relax.

If you get a prostate exam, and your doctor tries to give you the reach around. Urban Dictionary

An increasing amount of electrical shocks to the muscle causes the muscle to contract in such a way that before it can fully relax it is electrically stimulated again. This causes summation effect where contractions get stronger and stronger the more the muscle fiber is shocked. Urban Dictionary
