Cilia are slender, microscopic, hair-like structures or organelles that extend from the surface of nearly all mammalian cells (multiple or single). They are primordial. The ciliary apparatus is connected to cell cycle progression and proliferation, and cilia play a vital part in human and animal development and in everyday life.
Cilia (singular â cilium) are thin, tail-like projections extending approximately 0.1 mm outwards from the cells. There are two types of cilia, motile cilia (moving cilia) and non-motile cilia. Motile cilia constantly beat in a single direction, whilst non-motile cilia typically sense the cellsâ environment.n example of motile cilia can be found in humans in the lining of the windpipe, where they sweep mucus and dirt out of the lungs. Normally a cell only has one non-motile cilium. There are some cells in the body that have a specialized primary cilium which have a very important job to do.
