Figure 317 from Chapter 13 (Cilia and Flagella) of 'The Cell' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. The inconsistent orientation of the cilia in scanning micrographs does not accurately reflect their state in the li...

Figure 316 from Chapter 13 (Cilia and Flagella) of 'The Cell' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. The differences in size and shape of cilia and microvilli are well illustrated by scanning micrographs of the lumen...

Figure 326 from Chapter 13 (Cilia and Flagella) of 'The Cell' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Cells of sense organs detecting vibration are provided with stiff surface projections, the size of cilia but lackin...
