1. Cilia and Flagella
By Peyton O’Hara

Flagella

3. What is Cilia
Cilia are the small hair like structures on the outside of the organelles of almost all mammals cells
They are found in eukaryotic cells
It is rare that they are found in plants

4. Cilia are broken down into two different kinds
There is Motile and Non-Motile or Primary
Sometimes they will function together

5. Motile (moving) They usually have a wave like motion
Structure
Function
They usually have a wave like motion
They are mostly found in larger eukaryotes (mammals)
They are mostly used to move things along in the body
Ex. To move dirt and mucus along in the airways

6. Places they are found Lungs Middle ear Respiratory tract
Fallopian tubes of females

7. Non-Motile or Primary They are on almost every cell in the body
Structure
Function
They are on almost every cell in the body
They look like a spike
They is usually one per cell but some have multiple (specialized primary)
They can act as sensory antenna for the cell by sending and receiving data

8. Places they are found
Nose (multiple)
Eye (multiple)
Kidney

9. Flagella They look like a tail that comes off of the cell
There are three different types of flagella
Bacterial
Archaella
Eukaryotic

10. Structure Plant, animal and protist cells
Bacterial
Archaella
Eukaryotic
Plant, animal and protist cells
They are similar to motile cilia in the ways that they move and function
Has a rotary motor at the base that can turn it clockwise or counterclockwise
If there is more than one they all rotate separately
Almost the same as bacterial
There are many of them and they rotate as a single unit

11. Function A flagella is used to get a cell from place to another
If they are on a stationary cell then they are found in masses and move the fluid along the surface
Ex. A sperm swims by the use of the flagella and the collar cell in a sponge will move water through it by the beating of its flagella

12. The only really big difference between the structures of flagella and cilia is their length and thickness

13. Extra Information
Cilia make water currents that carry food and oxygen past the gills of clams and transport food through the digestive systems of snails.
Flagella can also create the water currents necessary for respiration and circulation in sponges and coelenterates as well.

14. Diseases
Ectopic pregnancy- happens when the cilia in the fallopian tubes isn’t functioning properly and can cause a tubal pregnancy (most common)
Polycystic Kidney disease is when cysts form in the kidneys

15. Bardet-Biedl syndrome-can be almost anywhere in your body
Bardet-Biedl syndrome-can be almost anywhere in your body. Eyes, nose ,hands, cardiovascular system, stomach, urogenital system, behavior (similar to Autism) and sometimes obesity
