The forces applied by cilia depend linearly on their frequency due to constant geometry of the effective stroke.
Mucus propelling cilia are excitable by many stimulants, and have been shown to increase their beating frequency up to threefold, by physiological extracellular stimulants, such as adenosine-triphosphate, acetylcholine, and others. This is thought to represent the evolutionary adaptation of mucociliary systems to the need of rapid and efficient cleansing the airways of foreign particles. Howeve...
متن کاملGround forces applied by galloping dogs.
The gallop differs from most other quadrupedal gaits in that each limb plays a unique role. This study compares the ground forces applied by the four limbs and uses force differences between limbs to address the question of why the gallop is the fastest quadrupedal gait. Individual ground forces were recorded from each of the four limbs as six dogs galloped down a runway at constant speed. Tria...
متن کاملRole of cilia, mucus, and airway surface liquid in mucociliary dysfunction: lessons from mouse models.
Mucociliary clearance is an important primary innate defense mechanism that protects the lungs from deleterious effects of inhaled pollutants, allergens, and pathogens. Mucociliary dysfunction is a common feature of chronic airway diseases in humans. The mucociliary apparatus consists of three functional compartments, that is, the cilia, a protective mucus layer, and an airway surface liquid (A...
متن کاملThe effect of cilia and the mucociliary clearance on successful drug delivery.
Nasal mucociliary clearance is one of the most important factors affecting nasal delivery of drugs and vaccines. This is also the most important physiological defense mechanism inside the nasal cavity. It removes inhaled (and delivered) particles, microbes and substances trapped in the mucus. Almost all inhaled particles are trapped in the mucus carpet and transported with a rate of 8-10 mm/h t...
متن کاملImpact Forces in Sport Surfaces Measured by Accelerometric Method
INTRODUCTION It has been documented that repeated impact forces can lead to injury (e.g. Voloshin 1981 and 1982, Wosk 1981). Although there are different mechanical methods in literature to measure shock absorption in areaelastic sport surfaces, even in standards (DIN 18032), there are few studies with subjects and accelerometry about the influence of sport surfaces on impact forces. Kim (1992)...
