title: Computer modelling of ciliary motility.
abstract: This article is devoted to mathematical modelling of motility of a single cilium. After some simplifications, a mechanical model of a cilium as well as a mathematical model of the mechanism of ciliary motility were proposed. These models are based on the hypothesis which was formulated earlier.
