(= metachronal rhythm) Type of synchrony found in the beating of cilia. A metachronal process is one that happens at a later time, and the synchronization is such that the active stroke of an adjacent cilium is slightly delayed so as to minimize the hydrodynamic interference; coordination is by visco-mechanical coupling. Different patterns of metachronal synchronization are recognized: in symplectic m. the wave of activity in the field passes in the same direction as the active stroke of the individual cilium; in antiplectic m. the opposite is true. In dexioplectic and laeoplectic m. the wave of activity in the field is normal to the beat axis. Symplectic and antiplectic m. are considered orthoplectic, the other forms as diaplectic.
