"Ligated" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Ligated means joined or connected, typically by ligatures or ties. It is often used in medical contexts, such as in reference to ligated arteries or veins, where they have been tied off to control bleeding.
Ligated
Ligaments are bands of fibrous connective tissue that connect bones or cartilages together, providing stability, support, and joint flexibility. They are often found in joints, around joints, and at the attachments of muscles, tendons, or bones.
A ligand is a molecule or ion that binds to a central metal atom or ion, typically forming a coordination complex.
Ligands are molecules or ions that bind to a central metal atom or ion, forming a complex. The binding of ligands to a metal center is typically done through sharing of electrons, involving the donation of electrons by the ligand to the metal, or the acceptance of electrons by the ligand from the metal.
I think you meant "ligant", not "ligant".<br><br>Ligant is not a commonly used word in English. However, I think you might be thinking of "ligand", which refers to a molecule or ion that binds to a central atom or ion in a coordination compound or complex. For example, a ligand can be a small molecule such as water or ammonia that binds to a metal ion to form a complex. Ligands can also be used to refer to other molecules that bind to biological molecules, such as proteins or DNA, and play a crucial role in biological processes.
Ligations refer to the act of binding or tying something (usually a body part, such as an artery or a limb) to prevent bleeding, constrict, or immobilize it. Alternatively, in a broader sense, ligations also refer to any type of binding or constriction, whether physical or figurative.
Ligatures refer to a device that fastens or joins two or more things together, often used in printing or typography to connect letters, symbols, or characters in a specific way to improve their appearance, readability, or functionality.
