Abstract
Bull and human sperm which are dissected or impaled retain wave motion in the presence of 10 mM ADP. Unlike ATP-induced motility which must be mechanically initiated, ADP-induced motility requires no initiation. The activity observed appears similar to that of intact cells. Flagellar segments which are detached from the head and middle piece are capable of sustaining coordinated motility. Asymmetric motion resembling a ciliary beat can also be exhibited by free flagellar segments.
