cilium teriminin İngilizce İngilizce sözlükte anlamı
A hairlike organelle projecting from a eukaryotic cell (such as unicellular organism or one cell of a multicelled organism). These structures serve either for locomotion by moving or as sensors
a hairlike projection from the surface of a cell; provides locomotion in free-swimming unicellular organisms
Short, eyelashlike filament that is numerous on tissue cells of most animals. Capable of beating in unison, cilia perform a variety of functions, including providing the means of locomotion for some protozoans, moving mammalian ova (eggs) through oviducts, generating water currents to carry food and oxygen past the gills of clams, and cleaning debris from mammalian respiratory systems. Like a flagellum, a cilium has a central core consisting of two central microtubules surrounded by an outer ring of nine double fibres. Ciliary outgrowth is controlled by the basal body, located just inside the cell surface at the base of the cilium. Beneath the surface of some cells is a network of microtubular bundles that may coordinate ciliary beating
short hair-like structures protruding from the cell membrane, used in locomotion Cilia are often very numberous and may cover the entire surface of the cell Cilia are composed of microtubules
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
Small hair like structures located on the surface of some cells but rooted in its underlying cytoplasm Cilia occur only on eukaryotic cells and are always similar Their structure and mode of action has been well conserved throughout biology When they occur, cilia are often abundant, covering either the whole cell surface or a large proportion of it
microscopic motile hair-like structures growing on the ectodermis (outer body covering) of polyps or planulae which aid in locomotion and the movement of mucus
