Figure 5. Astral Pushing Models.

Figure 5

A One-dimensional model. B Two-dimensional model. C Three-dimensional model. The microtubule (green) grows out from the centrosome (open circle) and makes contact with the cortex where it pushes until it converts to the shrinkage phase. See text for definition of parameters.
