Ciliate, any member of the protozoan phylum Ciliophora, of which there are some 8,000 species; ciliates are generally considered the most evolved and complex of protozoans. Ciliates are …

Ciliary movement is not a simple reciprocal movement and distinctly has forward and reverse movements called effective and recovery strokes, respectively. These “asymmetric” ciliary …

The uncoordinated cilia of ciliates perform an apolar movement, following a cone-shaped path counterclockwise. The mechanism underlying this apolar movement (and its modifications) …

The ciliary membrane is responsible for maintaining the appropriate levels of ATP, Mg2+, and Ca2+, and Ca2+ (ca. 10(-7) M) around the axoneme. The beat of certain cilia--e.g., L cilia of …

2018年1月1日 · Cilia and flagella are microtubule (MT)-based organelles that extend from the surface of eukaryotic cells. Ciliary and flagellar movements are generated by MT sliding with …

1983年4月10日 · Interaction between dynein and tubulin underlies the basic mechanism of ciliary and flagellar movement. The cilia and flagella demembranated with Triton X-100 can be …

Cilia and flagella are whip-like motile organelles present in a wide variety of eukaryotes. They are similar to other cellular motility systems in that movement is based on sliding between two …

2023年8月22日 · Immerse yourself in the microscopic world of ciliates, fascinating single-celled organisms that play a critical role within our ecosystem. This comprehensive guide will shed …

2025年1月12日 · A ciliate is a type of single-celled organism with hair-like structures called cilia for movement and feeding. These organisms are found in various aquatic environments and …

Efficient ciliary locomotion and transport require the coordination of motile cilia. Short-range coordination of ciliary beats can occur by biophysical mechanisms. Long-range coordination …
