10 ENGLISH BOOKS RELATING TO «METACHRONISM»
Discover the use of
metachronism in the following bibliographical selection. Books relating to
metachronism and brief extracts from same to provide context of its use in English literature.
The isolation or culture of ciliated cells may not change the beat frequency or
cycle of individual cilia, but this procedure disrupts the normal arrangement of
fields of contiguous cilia and, consequently, the associated metachronism. This is
a ...

Aspects of Animal Movement
The need for metachronism Among the various locomotor systems discussed
here, most walking and all swimming systems show metachronism of the
component propulsive structures, the major exception among walking
appendages being ...

Mathematical Biofluiddynamics
I leave that subject now with a mere note of a third model used by Blake (1971b)
based on a body of revolution, and pass to antiplectic metachronism. This is
different in important ways: the swimming velocities produced are larger relative
to ...

of the effective stroke to the right; and 2, stages of the recovery stroke to the left. A

Mechanics of Swimming and Flying
From Figure 7.5 we see that with 0 = 0, the "cilia tip" moves to the right when
farthest from the sheet and therefore corresponds to symplectic metachronism;
the case b > a is perhaps preferred because, as noted above, this metachronism

1974) provides up-to-date and comprehensive reviews of this literature. We wish
to comment here on one aspect only of recent studies by Aiello & Sleigh (1972)
and Sleigh & Aiello (1972), i.e. on metachronism in the beat of the lateral cilia.

Beating and metachronism are intimately associated and one is rarely observed
without the other. These activities of the ciliary system are, however, not mutually
dependent. If a ciliated protozoan or a ciliated epithelium is placed in a dilute ...
