Abstract:
Theoretical analysis of natural oscillation spectra of different kind of cells is presented. The study of received dispersive equation shows that the character of the cell natural movement depends on its size and the viscosity of internal and external liquids. If the depth of viscous wave penetration is small in comparison with the cell radius, the natural movements are weak damping oscillations. If the depth viscous wave penetration is comparable to the cell size, we have a relaxation process of cell form restoration.
