Cilium
* Cilia also are present on most cells in the human body.
* Cilia are a more accurate and precise form of propulsion than flagella or pseudopods
  - special class of eukaryote flagella
* Cilia are also able to acquire food
  - present, but the way in which they are disposed is very peculiar and characteristic
  - arranged in longitudinal rows over the whole body
  - essential for movement of paramecia
  - fewer in number per cell than flagella
  - for locomotion
  - formed through the process of ciliogenesis
  - found in species in the Phylum Ciliophora
* Cilia are generally longer than flagella
  - shorter and more numerous than flagella
  - hair-like filaments used to draw food near the mouth
  - identical to flagella except that they are shorter and more numerous
  - important cellular structures exclusively possessed by eukaryotic cells
  - less active
* Cilia are microscopic hair-like cellular projections that line some of the airways in the lung
  - projections that beat in unison like waves in a wheat field
  - tubes that serve important functions
  - microscopic, hairlike projections growing out of the passageway walls
  - much larger and have a core of microtubules
  - part of a coordinated locomotor system composed of complex organelles
  - present on the groove, mid-ventral region and posterior end
  - restricted to the ventral surface
* Cilia are short and present in large numbers
  - but numerous compared to flagella
* Cilia are short hairlike cytoplasmic projections that beat in waves
  - projections used for movement
* Cilia are short, numerous hair like structures that beat in a rhythm to move the animal along
  - numerous, and usually complexly organized
  - shorter and move in concert, like oars, with alternating power and recovery strokes
  - shorter, more numerous, have a distinct power stroke and recovery stroke
  - slender protuberances that project from the much larger cell body
* Cilia are small, and have a limited power output
  - undulating processes located on the surfaces of cells
* Cilia are structurally almost identical with the much larger flagella
  - the same as flagella and are actually short flagella
* Cilia are the little arms coming out of a cell
  - tiny hairs which usually line the bronchial tubes
  - tiny, hairlike structures that move digested food down the intestines
  - thick protuberances that project from the much larger cell body
  - thin, very small tail-like projections that extend outward from the cell body
  - thousands of tiny hair-like projections that cover the surface of a cell
  - threadlike cells that wave back and forth over some of the surface tissue
* Cilia are tiny hair-like structures on the surface of the airways
  - hairlike projections from cells that move with a wavelike motion
* Cilia are used by ciliates to move and to obtain food
  - in locomotion and during feeding
  - usually present in groups
  - very small, hair like organelles
  - well developed and used for a variety of purposes
  - convey the egg through the oviduct to the uterus
  - covering the gills pulls food into the shell
  - draw water
  - drive the movement of the mucus blanket that sweeps dirt out of the lungs
  - enable the organism to move
  - grow again in lungs
* Cilia help move mucus and foreign objects to the mouth and nose and then out of the body
  - to move the sperm along toward the epididymis
* Cilia includes corpi
  - lobes
* Cilia line the nose and most other airways in the respiratory system
  - trachea, and sweep microbes out of the lungs iv
  - lining the edges of the gill slits pump water through the branchial basket
* Cilia move back and forth, carrying mucus up and out
  - particles laterally to dorsal lamina, then posteriorly to stomach
  - possess the protein motor dynein responsible for their movement and the mucociliary escalator
  - propel mucus out of lungs and respiratory tract
  - provide the power to bring water into the inhalent chamber
  - regrow in lungs, increasing ability to handle mucus, clean the lungs, and reduce infection
* Cilia serve functions
  - sensory functions
  - surround mouths
  - usually move in a highly-coordinated fashion, often with a sort of swimming stroke
  - wave in a coordinated way to move the protozoa in one direction
  - work to clear the small passages , and coughing removes phlegm
* Most cilia draw water
* Most cilia serve functions
* Some cilia act like oars
  - sensors
* Some cilia circulate fluid
* are organelles.
+ Cilia, Status of cilia: Ciliates :: Organelles
  * Cilia are structurally almost identical with the much larger flagella. In this work the authors propose 19 phyla for the Protista, and call this 'Kingdom' the 'Protoctista', a term which is unfortunately almost unpronounceable.
