MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cilia are short, hair like appendages extending from the surface of a living cell. Flagella are long, threadlike appendages on the surface of a living cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -the filament – a long thin appendage that extends from the cell surface. The filament is composed of the protein flagellin and is hollow. Flagellin proteins are transcribed in the cell cytoplasm and then transported across the cell membrane and cell wall.

Detailed explanation-3: -The flagella are hair-like appendages used for moving around, and are attached directly into the outer membrane of the cell. When multiple flagella are present, they are usually attached all on one side of the cell. Other appendages include protein networks to which the cells may anchor themselves in large groups.
