Agar.io gameplay; this image shows only a small fraction of an Agar.io map. There are four cells on this screenshot. One cell is partially consuming another one. Another one of the cells is a drawing of Doge, an Internet meme.
[43] [49] Unlike twitching and gliding motilities, which are active movements where the motive force is generated by the individual cell, sliding is a passive movement. It relies on the motive force generated by the cell community due to the expansive forces caused by cell growth within the colony in the presence of surfactants, which reduce ...
Migrating motor complex, also known as migrating myoelectric complex, migratory motor complex, migratory myoelectric complex and MMC, is a cyclic, recurring motility pattern that occurs in the stomach and small bowel during fasting; it is interrupted by feeding. [1]
Type of protist Movement mechanism Description Example Other examples Motile Flagellates: A flagellum (Latin for whip) is a lash-like appendage that protrudes from the cell body of some protists (as well as some bacteria).
Amoeboid movement is the most typical mode of locomotion in adherent eukaryotic cells. [1] It is a crawling-like type of movement accomplished by protrusion of cytoplasm of the cell involving the formation of pseudopodia ("false-feet") and posterior uropods. One or more pseudopodia may be produced at a time depending on the organism, but all ...
The gastrocolic reflex or gastrocolic response is a physiological reflex that controls the motility, or peristalsis, of the gastrointestinal tract following a meal. It involves an increase in motility of the colon consisting primarily of giant migrating contractions, in response to stretch in the stomach following ingestion and byproducts of digestion entering the small intestine. [1]
Mass movement may refer to: Mass movement (geology), the movement of rock and soil down slopes due to gravity; Mass movement (politics), a large-scale social movement;
The fast marching method [1] is a numerical method created by James Sethian for solving boundary value problems of the Eikonal equation: | | = / () =Typically, such a problem describes the evolution of a closed surface as a function of time with speed in the normal direction at a point on the propagating surface.
