"The radio station will transmit the news at 6 PM."
2. Medical: To send data from a medical device to a receiver, such as a monitor or a computer system.
"The ECG machine transmits the patient's heart rate to the doctor's computer."
3. Data Communication: To send data from one point to another, often through a network.
"The data will be transmitted to the server once the upload is complete."
4. Broadcasting: To send out a program or content for the public to receive, such as a TV show or a podcast.
"The show will be transmitted live from the studio."
5. Biological Context: To send a nerve impulse or signal from one part of the body to another.
"The signal is transmitted from the brain to the muscles through the nervous system."
6. General Usage: To pass on or convey information, feelings, or emotions.
