Biological properties & Streaming of Cytoplasmic matrix
The cytoplasmic matrix has following biological properties: I. Irritability This is the fundamental and inherent property of the matrix. It possesses sensitivity to stimulation, ability to transmission of excitation, and ability to react according to stimuli. The heat and light, chemical substances and other factors stimulate the cytoplasmic matrix to contract: II. Conductivity The cycle of conduction or transmission of excitation from the spot of its starting point to the area of its excitation is called Conductivity. The network of nerve cells has the property of conductivity. III. Movement The cytoplasmic matric can perform movement due to cyclosis. The cyclosis depends on the age, water contents, hereditary factors and composition of the cell. IV. Metabolism The matrix is seat of various chemical activities. These activities may be either constructive or destructive in nature. The constructive processes such as biosynthesis of proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acid a...
