説明

<jats:p> High-speed microcinematography of nematocyst discharge in <jats:italic>Hydra attenuata</jats:italic> Pall. shows that this specialized exocytosis, which appears to result from an increase in the intracapsular pressure, requires a total of about 3 milliseconds. A maximum velocity of 2 meters per second is generated, corresponding to an acceleration of 40,000 <jats:italic>g</jats:italic> . Thus nematocyst discharge is one of the fastest cellular processes in nature. </jats:p>
