Cilium cartoon
(plural, cilia)
Cilia are epithelial cell surface microtubule based specialisations. Cilia are thin, tail-like projections extending approximately 5–10 micrometers outwards from the cell body.
There are two types of cilia, motile cilia and non-motile cilia.
- Motile cilia (respiratory epithelia, trachea, uterine tube, ependymal cells) move and constantly beat in a single direction, resulting in movement of the overlying fluid.
- Non-motile cilia lack dynein arms and are associated with sensory system epithelium (olfactory epithelium).
