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!?

What is a motile projection attach to the basal body?
A motile projection attached to the basal body is typically a flagellum or a cilium. These structures help in cell movement and can be found in various organisms such as bacteria, protists, and some multicellular organisms. The basal body serves as the anchoring point and coordinates the movement of the flagellum or cilium.
Which structures are not found in prokaryotes cells?
nuclei
What does the basal body do?
The basal body is an organelle that serves as the base of a eukaryotic flagellum or cilium. It anchors these structures to the cell and is involved in their formation and function, aiding in cellular movement and sensory perception.
What is an axoneme?
An axoneme is the core structure of a cilium or flagellum, made up of microtubules organized in a specific pattern. It provides support and determines the movement of the cilium or flagellum. The axoneme is essential for motility in many organisms, including single-celled organisms and cells within multicellular organisms.
What is the plural for cilia?
The plural for cilia is still cilia.
What part of the body can cilium be found?
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.
What is the singular form of the word cilia?
Singular form for cilia is cilium. Cilium is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells. In Latin cilium means eyelash.

What do worms use to Crawl?
cilium- microscopic vibrating hairs along the body
Where is the basal body located?
The basal body is located at the base of a eukaryotic flagellum or cilium and anchors these structures to the cell membrane. It plays a role in organizing the microtubules that make up the flagellum or cilium, providing structural support.
Which structures are not found in prokaryotes cells?
nuclei
When was Spodoptera cilium created?
Spodoptera cilium was created in 1852.
What do cilium's do?
cilium helps in swimming locomotion. they are seen in protozoans like vorticella, paramecium

What provides movement in cell?
Cilium
What is a locomotive structure made up of microtubules?
A locomotive structure made up of microtubules is likely a cilium or flagellum. These structures are found on the surface of cells and are involved in cell movement, either by acting as a sensory antenna (cilium) or by propelling the cell (flagellum) through the movement of microtubules.
What is the Latin word for eye lash?
