Video 4: Effects of applying suction to an in vitro CV
Effect of suction on the rounding/relaxing cycle of an in vitro CV of
Paramecium. When a suction micropipette is placed against the membrane
of the in vitro CV and a small amount of suction is applied the CV will
immediately undergo rounding even though it is still in its relaxing
phase. Suction induced an extra rounding irrespective of the time in
the rounding/relaxing cycle that suction was applied. Suction always
produces maximum rounding. See Tani, Allen and Naitoh, J. Exp. Biol.
