However, it has recently been shown that both motile and primary cilia can occur in both 9þ 2 and 9þ 0 configurations, indicating that there are in actuality at least four types of cilia. For example, non-motile 9þ 2 cilia are found on certain olfactory neurons, whereas motile 9...

Cilia are found in the lungs, respiratory tract and ear. They help to keep human and animal airways clear of mucus and dust, which permits us to breathe effortlessly and they also help propel semen. They also act as a sensory antenna for the cell. Some of the symptoms PCD can cause ...
Although primary cilia are found in invertebrates (Gardiner and Rieger, 1980; Konno et al., 2010), their functions are poorly understood. As Bloodgood (2010) pointed out, virtually all motile cilia and flagella also seem to have sensory functions. We will discuss the sensory functions in both...
Cilia are hair-like protrusions found at the surface of most eukaryotic cells. They can be divided into two types, motile and non-motile. Motile cilia are found in a restricted number of cell types, are generally present in large numbers, and beat in a coordinated fashion to generate fluid...
The cilia are short, hairlike outgrowths of certain cells, usuallysinglecells, capable of rhythmic beating. They can produce locomotion and feeding currents or the movement of fluids, as in the respiratory ducts of animals and humans. These outgrowths measure approximately 5-10 micrometers from ...

Cilia definition: minute hairlike organelles, identical in structure to flagella, that line the surfaces of certain cells and beat in rhythmic waves, providing locomotion to ciliate protozoans and moving liquids along internal epithelial tissue in animal
Small, generally microscopic, vibrating appendages lining certain organs, as the air passages of the higher animals, and in the lower animals often covering also the whole or a part of the exterior. They are also found on some vegetable organisms. In the Infusoria, and many larval forms, they...
