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
tiny hair-like projections located on the surface of the bronchi that continually sweep mucus up and out of lungs, helping to cleanse them
Small, hair-like projections on the outer layer of some cells, including many of those in the bronchial epithelium
Hair-like structure lining the respiratory defense system that functions by trapping and removing particles breathed in from the environment
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
Minute filament like structures which, by beating, create a current and provide locomotion, not visible to the naked eye
Many short fine hairs on the cell surface which are used for locomotion or food gathering in many microscopic organisms and their larvae
Small, vibratory, swimming organs, somewhat resembling true cilia, as those of Ctenophora
Tiny hairs in the nose, bronchi and lungs that filter air and trap particles such as dust for removal
Long, slender microscopic hairlike processes extending from cells and capable of rhythmic motion
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
Hair-like structures composed of bundled microtubules that drive fluid across the surface of a cell, or drive cell movement
