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.
The function of cilia is to move water relative to the cell in a regular movement of the cilia. This process can either result in the cell moving through the water, typical for many single-celled organisms, or in moving water and its contents across the surface of the cell.or example, in humans, only a few cell types have motile cilia, namely sperm, epithelia cells in the bronchi and oviducts, and ependymal cells that line brain vesicles. But virtually all other cells have a primary cilium.
