An example of a eukaryotic flagellate cell is the mammalian sperm cell, which uses its flagellum to propel itself through the female reproductive tract. Eukaryotic flagella are structurally identical to eukaryotic cilia, although distinctions are sometimes made according to function and/or length.
These whiplike appendages extend from the surface of many types of eukaryotic cells. If there are many of them, they are called cilia; if only one, or a few, they are flagella. Flagella also tend to be longer than cilia but are otherwise similar in construction. Function Cilia and flagella move liquid past the surface of the cell. 1  For single cells, such as sperm, this enables them to swim. 2  For cells anchored in a tissue, like the epithelial cells lining our air passages, this moves liquid over the surface of the cell (e.g., driving particle-laden mucus toward the throat).
