Scope note: Conjuntos de prolongaciones finas y móviles que cubren la superficie de los organismos ciliados (CILIÓFOROS) o la superficie libre de las células conformando el EPITELIO ciliado. Cada cilio surge de un gránulo básico en la capa superficial del CITOPLASMA. El movimiento de los cilios transporta a los ciliados a través del líquido en que viven. El movimiento de los cilios en un epitelio ciliado sirve para impulsar una capa superficial de moco o fluido. (King & Stansfield, A Dictionary of Genetics, 4th ed)

Scope note: Populations of thin, motile processes found covering the surface of ciliates (CILIOPHORA) or the free surface of the cells making up ciliated EPITHELIUM. Each cilium arises from a basic granule in the superficial layer of CYTOPLASM. The movement of cilia propels ciliates through the liquid in which they live. The movement of cilia on a ciliated epithelium serves to propel a surface layer of mucus or fluid. (King & Stansfield, A Dictionary of Genetics, 4th ed)
