Bacteria do not have cilia. They have fimbriae and flagella.
Cilia wave about in particular manner to perform some particular function. For example the cilia in your respiratory tract push the foreign particles outwards. Cilia push the egg towards the uterus.
Cilia and flagella help the cell to 'swim' in the body and move around. They're like tails or tentacles.
The cilia does a number of things in the animal cell. The main function is to help the cells in terms of movement.
Cilia are tiny hair-like structures that line the respiratory tract and move in a coordinated manner to sweep mucus and foreign particles out of the airways. They function to protect and clean the respiratory system.
Bacteria do not have cilia. They have fimbriae and flagella.
Cilia are present all over the bronchial tree. Cilia propel the foreign particles out wards.
cilia that surrounds the paramecium serves as their mode of movementn.

The function of the small intestine is to break down foods and the function of the large intestine is to clean out the food that are not absorbed as wastes.
Cilia wave about in particular manner to perform some particular function. For example the cilia in your respiratory tract push the foreign particles outwards. Cilia push the egg towards the uterus.
Cilia are present all over the bronchial tree. Cilia push the foreign particles out wards. By this way cilia protect your respiratory system from damage by particles. Cilia also push the bacteria out from the respiratory tract.

When look at the function of cilia in the immune system, you mainly refer to the cilia present in the respiratory system. Cilia, along with mucus, are part of the innate immunity your body has. Mucus in respiratory tubes traps most microbes and dust that get past the nasal filter (nasal hair). Cilia on cells lining the tubes sweep mucus upward and out of the system. !!
Cilia moves the liquid past the surface of the cell. For single celled organisms, the cilia also enables them to swim.
