2017年6月25日 · A cilium, or cilia (plural), are small hair-like protuberances on the outside of eukaryotic cells. They are primarily responsible for locomotion, either of the cell itself or of …

The ciliates are a group of alveolates characterized by the presence of hair-like organelles called cilia, which are identical in structure to eukaryotic flagella, but are in general shorter and …

2023年10月30日 · The cilium (plural: cilia) is a microtubule-based organelle that projects from the cellular membrane of many cells. Cilia can be divided into two types: motile and non-motile. …

Specialised animal cells include red blood cells, sperm, eggs, nerve cells, muscle cells, ciliated cells, and villi.

Ciliates are single-celled organisms that, at some stage in their life cycle, possess cilia, short hairlike organelles used for locomotion and food gathering.

2023年11月8日 · Cilia are tiny hair-like appendages present on the eukaryotic cell surface that provides a means of locomotion to different protozoans and animals. The term ‘cilia’ is a Latin …

Some epithelial cells are ciliated, and they commonly exist as a sheet of polarized cells forming a tube or tubule with cilia projecting into the lumen. This sensory and signalling role puts cilia in …

In structures like the trachea, bronchial tubes, and nasal cavities, the ciliated epithelium is responsible for transporting particles or fluid over the epithelial surface. It frequently appears …

Ciliated columnar cells are found in the respiratory tract, including the middle ear, and in the testes where they move the sperm before the sperm become motile. Ciliated cells do not occur …

Ciliated cells are the target of viral infection and impaired cilia functionality can cause issues with mucociliary clearance e.g. PCD. Aberrations in mucus production can cause...
