Of, relating to, or involving cilia,
  1. Of, relating to, or involving cilia
    • - ciliary action
  2. Of or relating to the eyelashes or eyelids

  3. Of or relating to the ciliary body of the eye

  1. relating to the ciliary body and associated structures of the eye
  2. of or relating to cilia projecting from the surface of a cell
  3. of or relating to the human eyelash
  4. The hairs that comprise the Eye brow are also commonly refered to as Lashes, a similar suffix is applied to various other parts of the body. See 'Arm Lashes' also 'Testicle Lashes'
  5. (Cilia) A cilium (plural cilia) is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Cilia are slender protuberances that project from the much larger cell body.
  6. (Cilia) Tiny hairlike projections lining the inside surface of the fallopian tubes. The waving action of these “hairs” sweeps the egg toward the uterus.
  7. (cilia) Fine hairs along the edges of the wing.
  8. (Cilia) hair-like structures that line the airways in the lungs and help to clean out the airways.
  9. (Cilia) Little hairs in the airways of the lungs that help to move mucus out of the lungs.
  10. (Cilia) Plural for cilium, which is a hair-like structure that moves in a waving motion. Cilia are used for motility in some one-celled organisms and for moving particles or fluids in certain cells of more advanced organisms.
  11. (Cilia) In healthy lungs, cilia (tiny hairs that line the lungs) move bacteria, pollutants, and other irritants upwards toward the oral up the airway so they can be expelled (coughed or breathed out). The cilia in people with COPD are damaged and cannot perform this function well enough or at all.
  12. (Cilia) Hair-like structures.
  13. (cilia) microscopic hair-like structures found on certain types of cell.  If the cell is in a fixed position, the movement of the cilium causes fluid around the cell to move.  In the case of a free cell, cilia movement will propel the cell through the liquid it inhabits.
  14. (cilia) short hair-like appendages found on the surfaces of some types of cells and organisms; used for either propelling trapped material out of the body or for locomotion.
  15. (CILIA) Short hair-like structures on a cell or microorganism, the movement of which aids mobility of the cell and transfer of materials across its surface. (See FLAGELLA) (MP)
  16. (Cilia) (Aqua, Para, Trop, Zoo)
  17. (Cilia) (pl) - tiny hairlike cells that line the airways and  beat constantly toward the pharynx to assist in removal of mucus and dust particles.
  18. (Cilia) A coarse hair-like structure growing on the margin or upper surface of lobes or on apothecia.
  19. (Cilia) Fine hairs that are mostly found on the margin of an organ (usually the labellum or the leaves).
  20. (Cilia) Hair cells that are embedded in the basilar membrane of the ear.
  21. (Cilia) Hair-like projections that create currents by rhythmic waving in unison. See sponges.
  22. (Cilia) Long, slender microscopic hairlike processes extending from cells and capable of rhythmic motion.
  23. (Cilia) Microscopic hairlike processes that move in a wavelike manner on the exposed surfaces of certain epithelial cells.
  24. (Cilia) Microtubular, hairlike structures that some single-celled organisms use for locomotion through liquids. They also cover the cells of certain tissues, such as the epithelium lining the lungs, and help those cells sweep away fluids or particles. Cilia are smaller than flagella. ...
  25. (Cilia) Name sometimes given to the long teeth lining the edge of the traps.
