Hyperfunction
Hyperfunction (hyperfunctio; Greek hyper- - excessively, over, above + Latin functio - implementation, performance) - increased activity of any system or organ of a person; can be a pathological or protective-adaptive reaction to the action of an abnormal or extreme stimulus, or a reaction to an increase in the intensity of a physiological stimulus.
Allocate:
- compensatory hyperfunction (h. compensatoria): focused on compensating for the insufficiency of the function of the same or other organs, systems and tissues;
- hyperfunction of the heart isometric (h. cordis isometrica): resulting from an increase in myocardial contractility against the background of a constant end-diastolic volume of the ventricles;
- isotonic heart hyperfunction (h. cordis isotonica): resulting from an increase in the end-diastolic volume of the ventricles with unchanged myocardial contractility.
