Streaming is usually seen indirectly as the movement of particles in the cytoplasm, and is presumed to be based on a motor system similar to actin-myosin-based motility (see Kuroda, 1990, for review of cytoplasmic streaming in plant cells).
Streaming is not easy to observe near the tip of the hair, most likely because of the high concentration of vesicles there (see later section on vesicles).
Cytoplasmic streaming is rapid during the initial and late phases of growth, but during the period 4-6 hours after emergence, the migratory movement of the nucleus coincides with a slowing of cytoplasmic streaming.

 Establishment of Polarity in the One-Cell Embryo
This "fountainhead" pattern of cytoplasmic streaming may be directed by the sperm pronucleus, the associated centrosomes and nascent microtubules, or a localized cortical change induced by sperm entry, since embryos in which the sperm entered laterally display cytoplasmic streaming that is laterally directed toward the sperm pronucleus (Goldstein and Hird 1996).
Cytoplasmic streaming appears to have a major role in localizing germ-line-specific P granules to the posterior cortex of the one-cell embryo.
Treatment of embryos with the microfilament inhibitor cytochalasin D disrupts the microfilament cytoskeleton (Strome 1986b) and prevents cytoplasmic streaming (Hird and White 1993), P-granule segregation to the posterior, and the development of spindle asymmetry (Strome and Wood 1983).

 Cytoplasm Summary
Among the prominent membrane-bound cytoplasmic organelles are mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, and the Golgi apparatus.
The cytoplasm, or cytosol of eukaryotic cells is the gel-like, water-based fluid that occupies the majority of the volume of the cell.
The cytoplasm houses all the chemicals and components that are used to sustain the life of a bacterium, with the exception of those components that reside in the membrane(s), and in the periplasm of Gram-negative bacteria.
