  2. Cilium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cilium

    The cilium (pl.: cilia; from Latin cilium 'eyelid'; in Medieval Latin and in anatomy, cilium) is a short hair-like membrane protrusion from many types of eukaryotic cell. [1] [2] (Cilia are absent in bacteria and archaea.) The cilium has the shape of a slender threadlike projection that extends from the surface of the much larger cell body. [2]

  3. Ciliogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciliogenesis

    Cilia Structure. Primary cilia are found to be formed when a cell exits the cell cycle. [2] Cilia consist of four main compartments: the basal body at the base, the transition zone, the axenome which is an arrangement of nine doublet microtubules and considered to be the core of the cilium, and the ciliary membrane. [2]

  4. Ciliate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciliate

    Mostly, body cilia are arranged in mono-and dikinetids, which respectively include one and two kinetosomes (basal bodies), each of which may support a cilium. These are arranged into rows called kineties , which run from the anterior to posterior of the cell.

  5. File:Eukaryotic cilium diagram en.svg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Eukaryotic_cilium...

    A cilium (plural cilia) is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Cilia are slender protuberances typically extending some 5–10 micrometers outwards from the cell body. There are two types of cilia: motile cilia, which constantly beat directionally, and non-motile—or primary—cilia, which typically serve as sensory organelles

  6. Axoneme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axoneme

    In molecular biology, an axoneme, also called an axial filament, is the microtubule-based cytoskeletal structure that forms the core of a cilium or flagellum. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Cilia and flagella are found on many cells , organisms , and microorganisms , to provide motility.

  7. Eyelash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyelash

    An eyelash (also called lash) (Neo-Latin: cilium, plural cilia) is one of the hairs that grows at the edges of the top and bottom eyelids, spanning outwards and away from the eyes. The lashes grow in up to six layers on each of the upper and lower eyelids. [ 1 ]

  8. Cytostome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytostome

    Diagram of a ciliate. A cytostome (from cyto-, cell and stome-, mouth) or cell mouth is a part of a cell specialized for phagocytosis, usually in the form of a microtubule-supported funnel or groove. Food is directed into the cytostome, and sealed into vacuoles. Only certain groups of protozoa, such as the Ciliophora and Excavata, have ...

  9. Deuterosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deuterosome

    In cell biology, a deuterosome is a protein structure within a multiciliated cell (such as an epithelial cell of respiratory tract) that produces multiple centrioles.. Most cells in the human body possess one primary cilium, [1] a relatively small protrusion of the cell membrane that looks like a stick or a finger under the electron microscope.
