in the direction of contraction of a muscle. (E.g. extension of the lower arm via the elbow joint while contracting the triceps and other elbow extensor muscles; closing of the jaw while flexing the masseter)
Antonym: eccentric. Concentric and eccentric movements are collectively referred to as isotonic (with motion), the antonym of which is isometric (without motion).
Concentric circles or rings have the same centre. On a blackboard, he drew five concentric circles. having the same centre eccentric (concentricus, from com- ( COM-) + centrum )
general name for any spacing scheme in millefiori weights which features concentric circles of canes placed around a central cane or cluster of canes Concentric weights ate either "open" (circles spaced relatively far apart) or "close" (circles close together), or "spaced" (millefiori canes set equal distances apart in vaguely defined concentric circles)
A searchcoil configuration using one or more transmit and one receive windings having unequal diameters aligned on a common center; most recently arranged on the same plane and called Coplanar Concentric

A searchcoil design having unequal winding diameters aligned on the same center The most common style called concentric coplanar has all windings on the same plane Recent designs have been configured elliptical Concentric searchcoils are considered most compatible with the discrimination function
