If I remember correctly, cilia are hairs on the underside of a tapeworm that a tapeworm bends in order to move.

If the hairs on a tapeworm's underside look like this:

________________________

| | | | | | <- a straight hair

and he bends them like this:

_________________________

\ \ \ \ \ \ <- a bent hair

then he is moving to the left.
