Cilium


Definition:

  • (n.) See Cilia.

Example Sentences:

  • (9) By electron microscopy, many structural characteristics of highly differentiated cells were evident: numerous mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, extensive endoplasmic reticulum, an occasional cilium, intracytoplasmic filaments, polarized formation of microvilli, and gap junctions.
  • (10) Beginning at this stage and continuing up to E22 an average of one cilium per day is added to the endings.
  • (11) Flagella-like oscillations of kinocilia occurred spontaneously when preparations deteriorated and could be induced regularly in fresh preparations by pressing onto the tip of the cilium.
  • (12) Based on morphological similarities, the photoreceptor connecting cilium is thought to be homologous to the transition zone of the motile cilium.
  • (13) On the 13.5th gestational day, there were numerous microvilli and a primary cilium on the crista ampullaris.
  • (14) It is shown why the elastic character of mucus is important for good momentum transfer from cilium to load and for good load carrying properties.
  • (15) The detergent removes the membrane and many axonemes unroll, always in an organized fashion so that doublets follow one another in sequence, according to the enantiomorphic form of the cilium.
  • (16) Such a case of a cilium in the anterior chamber is described.
  • (17) In the 3-day-old mouse, the epithelial cells are differentiated neither into ciliated nor secretory cells, and are characterized by the appearance of many autolysosomes and a solitary cilium.
  • (18) Computer-assisted, three-dimensional reconstructions of two gastrodermal sensory cells from transmission electron micrographs of serial sections of Hydra revealed a unipolar morphology with the nucleus near an apical cilium and a simple unbranched axon with a widened terminal.
  • (19) The cilium was discovered years later following an injury.
  • (20) The head is formed from the terminal part of the cilium shaft, which is bent to give rise to a loop-like ring covered by the ciliary membrane.

Locomotion


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of moving from place to place.
  • (n.) The power of moving from place to place, characteristic of the higher animals and some of the lower forms of plant life.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Platelet-activating factor (PAF-acether), an inflammatory mediator with a wide range of biological activities including neutrophil aggregation and chemotaxis, was studied for its effect on human eosinophil locomotion (chemotaxis and chemokinesis).
  • (2) The model can account for speed changes in locomotion with a relatively smooth change of system parameters.
  • (3) When the organisms are free-swimming this is seen as the reversed locomotion of Jennings' "avoiding reaction."
  • (4) In naïve mice, i.e., mice with intact stores of DA, both the selective D1 antagonist SCH23390 and the selective D2 antagonist spiperone blocked the locomoter stimulation produced by (+)-amphetamine.
  • (5) With respect to the mechanism of the delayed invasion, it was suggested that the IFN-gamma might inhibit the adhesion of the cells to extracellular matrices (ECM) and the subsequent locomotion.
  • (6) During normal locomotion, SA-m exhibited a single burst of EMG activity per step cycle, during the swing phase.
  • (7) a 45-mg pellet every 45 s) induces considerable locomotion, rearing and other motor activities in food-deprived rats.
  • (8) One hypothesis to account for intercellular invasion proposes that a necessary condition for a cell type to be invasive to a given host tissue is that it lack contact paralysis of locomotion during collision with cells of that host tissue.
  • (9) The failure of agents which inhibit motility to inhibit capping of the normal lymphocytes suggests that active locomotion is not a direct prerequisite for capping.
  • (10) The average speed of the cells, as well as the proportion of neutrophils showing locomotion, is increased.
  • (11) In the rotatory and transverse gallop (examples of the in-phase form of locomotion) the coupling is asymmetrical: on one side it is comparable to pacing (forelimb flexion precedes hindlimb extension), and on the other side to trotting (forelimb flexion follows extension).
  • (12) Wandering is movement changing over time and, thus, is a nonlinear ultradian rhythm, with locomoting and nonlocomoting phases.
  • (13) Locomotion and general activities were typically unchanged over days.
  • (14) While executing the latter movements no forward locomotion occurred at all; the cats solely executed lateral fore- and hindlimb movements opposite to the direction in which the cylinder rotated.
  • (15) In addition, this drug slightly reduced locomotion and more markedly rearing in a free exploration procedure.
  • (16) Animals injected with DZP, NPC 12626, CPP or buspirone spent at least 1.4 of the 4 post shock minutes locomoting.

  • (18) Without shocks, apomorphine-treated rats displayed stereotypy with locomotion and biting of various objects.
  • (19) Absence of a functioning velocity storage network in bottom-dwelling teleosts (as in Amphibia) may be related to the sporadic, slow locomotion of these species and the resulting small requirements for continuous gaze stabilization during self-motion at higher velocities.
  • (20) reversed the increase in locomotion and elevation of multiple squeak thresholds in the bilaterally kindled rats.
