| Name: | ciliated olfactory receptor neuron |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | ciliated olfactory sensory neuron, ciliated sensory neuron |
| Definition: | An olfactory receptor cell in which the apical ending of the dendrite is a pronounced ciliated olfactory knob. The soma is located basally in the olfactory epithelium. |

| Name: | cilium-dependent cell motility |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | ciliary cell motility, cilium cell motility, microtubule-based flagellar cell motility |
| Definition: | Cell motility due to the motion of one or more eukaryotic cilia. A eukaryotic cilium is a specialized organelle that consists of a filiform extrusion of the cell surface. Each cilium is bounded by an extrusion of the cytoplasmic (plasma) membrane, and contains a regular longitudinal array of microtubules, anchored basally in a centriole. |
