meaning of otodropic as well as hydropic
Hi there.
OTODROPIC
It means having the longer axis more or less vertical . When equivalent stimuli are presented in only three mutually perpendicular directions, orthotropic materials respond similarly. This word is mostly used in material science to refer to a subset of anisotropic materials. This is due to the mechanical characteristics of each of these types of materials changing when an external stimulus is applied. An everyday illustration of an orthotropic substance is wood.
HYDROPIC
Water is referred to as "hydro," and the word "pikos," which comes from the pike or pickerel fish, describes the look of the enlarged cell, which seems to have tiny holes on its surface. Any organ system can have hydropic alterations, but the kidneys, liver, heart, lungs, brain, spleen, pancreas, adrenal glands, bone marrow, and lymph nodes are the most often affected.
