Term ID

GO:0005929

Synonyms

eukaryotic flagellum
flagellum
microtubule-based flagellum

Definition

A specialized eukaryotic organelle that consists of a filiform extrusion of the cell surface and of some cytoplasmic parts. Each cilium is largely bounded by an extrusion of the cytoplasmic (plasma) membrane, and contains a regular longitudinal array of microtubules, anchored to a basal body. (4)
