-
An electric phenomenon corresponding to that of acoustic resonance, due to the existance of certain relations of the capacity, inductance, resistance, and frequency of an alternating circuit.
-
A prolongation or increase of any sound, either by reflection, as in a cavern or apartment the walls of which are not distant enough to return a distinct echo, or by the production of vibrations in other bodies, as a sounding-board, or the bodies of musical instruments.

-
The ability to send back or prolong sound; a round, full, vibrating quality of sound; as, the resonance of an organ; in physics, the lengthening or strengthening of a sound owing to sympathetic vibrations set in motion by the waves of sound.

-
Act of resounding: the returning of sound by reflection or by the production of vibrations in other bodies.
By Daniel Lyons
-
A resounding; a reverberation of sounds. A thrilling of the voice more loud than natural; or its existence in a part where it is not heard in health, - as detected by auscultation. A thickened and hardened state of the lungs, caused either by a mass of crude tubercles, or by inflammation, is generally considered to produce this phenomenon, by rendering the lung a better conductor of the murmur of the voice in the bronchi. Hence the origin of the term Bronchophony, from 'bronchus,' and, 'the voice;' (F.) Voix bronchique, Voix tubaire, V. burdonnante. Resonance is also used in the sense of resounding; as when the chest is said to be resonant on percussion.
By Robley Dunglison
-
Sound elicited by percussion.

- cell surface protein-tyrosine kinase that is found to be overexpressed in significant number adenocarcinomas. It has extensive homology can heterodimerize EGF EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR), 3 receptor (RECEPTOR, 3) and the 4 receptor.
