Figure 1

Examples of “individual particles” or “mucus sheets”. The video files were processed using CISMM software (http://cismm.cs.unc.edu/downloads/?dl_cat=3) to remove the invariant background, thus emphasizing the moving material, and every tenth frame is shown. Panel A shows an example of a “single particle,” indicated by a circle, although a second particle is present. Panel B shows an example of a “mucus sheet” where many elements are present, three of which are indicated as a circle, a square, and a triangle, that move together.
