conductance /con·duc·tance/ (kon-duk´tans) the capacity for conducting or ability to convey. Symbol G. airway conductance the reciprocal of airway resistance; the airflow divided by the mouth-to-alveoli pressure difference.
conductance ability to conduct or transmit, as electricity or other energy or material; in studies of respiration, an expression of the amount of air reaching the alveoli per unit of time per unit of pressure, the reciprocal of resistance.

Each also caused an increase in ionic conductances and an elevation of cytosolic free calcium (9, 10). She doesn't rule out the slower conductances, however. Theory predicts that wires of the same dimension and composition would show slightly different conductances, reflecting differences in the positions of the impurity atoms responsible for scattering the electron waves in each sample. |
