What is another word for Cilia?
Pronunciation: [sˈɪliə] (IPA) 
Cilia are slender, hair-like projections that extend from the surface of cells. These structures play an important role in many biological processes, from sweeping mucus out of the respiratory system to helping certain cells move. Although "cilia" is the most commonly used term to describe these structures, there are several synonyms that may also be used in scientific or medical contexts. Some other terms that can be used to describe cilia include flagella, motile cilia, non-motile cilia, and kinocilia. Each of these terms describes a subtly different structure or function of the cilia, and may be used in different contexts depending on the specific scientific or medical field being discussed.
