Such a 'threshold' indicates the presence of'resting tension' of the fibers which is counterbalanced by the electrophoretic force of the potential gradient of V/cm. This component of resistive force which is independent of stretch may be regarded as due to some surface force or tension at the protoplasmic surface of the fibers. As seen from Figure 9, the slope of the line of centrifuged eggs (without fibers) is greater than that of normal eggs with intact fibers. This indicates that the fibers show a resistance proportional to the velocity of the eggs (or the speed of stretch of the fibers). This may be regarded as viscous resistance which the fibers show against their stretch. In conclusion, the resistive force due to the fibers is composed of tensional force and internal viscous resistance. 315 c o *j - . - 0 >— u D LU. -(0-0) 0 5678 Time (sec) 10 11 12 FIGURE 8.
