Cilium (Latin for eyelash; the plural is cilia)
Cilia are slender protuberances (projections) that project from the much larger cell body - eyelashes, for example, project from the eyelid. Therefore, the eyelash is the protuberance, and the eyelid would be the larger cell body in this instance.
Cilia can also be found within the air vessels of the lungs. It is the cilia in the lungs which help to move the pleghm/mucus from the lung and into the trachea/windpipe, in order to be coughed up and expelled from the mouth. Into a handkerchief, hopefully!?

nuclei
What are analogies for basal bodies?
The basal body is like an anchor. It joins all of the cilium to the cell and gives the cell support.
What is the plural for cilia?

What is an axoneme?
An axoneme is a bundle of nine microtubules forming the internal scaffolding of a cilium, with two extra microtubles connecting the others if the cilium is motile.
Where does cilliated tissues located?
Ciliated tissues are composed of cells containing cilia. Cilia or singular cilium are found in many tissues for examples ciliated cells are found in our lining of nose and ear and aswell as throat.

Cilium can be found inside human sensory glands that are in the nose and eyes. Some other forms of cilium can be found in the lungs and in the fallopian tubes of women.
