(a) The mechanism of ciliary movement is not completely under stood. It is known that the microtubules behave as sliding filament that move past one another much like the sliding filaments of vertebrate skeletal muscle. The fluxes of across the membrane is not responsible for controlling the organised beating of cilia. |
