Abstract
The role of Ca ions in the ciliary arrest response ofMytilus gill cilia was studied with Triton-extracted models. The cilia continue to beat when the Ca ion concentration is lower than about 10−7 M, but stop beating and incline in the direction of the recovery stroke as in the arrest response observed in the living lateral cilia when Ca ion concentration is raised above 10−7–10−6 M. ATP, Mg and Ca ions are all indispensable for the arrest response in the model system.
