Exact synonym | cilium cell motility, microtubule-based flagellar cell motility |
Description | Cell motility due to the motion of one or more eukaryotic cilia. A eukaryotic cilium is a specialized organelle that consists of a filiform extrusion of the cell surface. Each cilium is bounded by an extrusion of the cytoplasmic (plasma) membrane, and contains a regular longitudinal array of microtubules, anchored basally in a centriole. |
Related synonym | ciliary cell motility |
Comment | Note that we deem eukaryotic cilia and microtubule-based flagella to be equivalent. |
