The construction and assessment of a three-dimensional computer-generated model of inner dynein arms on a 96-nm repeat unit of an axonemal doublet is described. The model is based on published electron micrographs of axonemes from Tetrahymena cilia and eel sperm, which were prepared using several di
In order to generate the complex waveforms typical of beating cilia and flagella, the action of the dynein arms must be regulated. This regulation not only depends on the presence of multiple dynein isoforms, but also clearly involves other structures in the axoneme such as the radial spokes and cen
We present a #uid-mechanical model of an individual cilium which incorporates discrete representations of the dynein arms, the passive elastic structure of the axoneme including the microtubules and nexin links. This model, based upon the immersed boundary method (Peskin, 1977), couples the internal
