The 24 pages that link to Cilia, each with the reason it gives.

• Filter feedingRelated: Ciliary currents carry water and particles toward or across filtering surfaces.

• MucusRelated: Motile cilia propel mucus across respiratory surfaces.

• ProtistRelated: Cilia let ciliates swim and sweep food particles toward their cell mouths.

• Mucous membraneRelated: Cilia propel airway mucus across the mucosal surface.

• Nasal mucosaRelated: Cilia on nasal epithelial cells propel mucus toward the pharynx.

• Fallopian tubeRelated: Cilia lining the tube help move the egg toward the uterus.

• PlanulaRelated: Beating cilia propel many planulae through the water.

• AlveolataRelated: Cilia are prominent in many alveolates, especially ciliates.

• BronchitisRelated: Smoke and infection can impair ciliary clearance, allowing mucus to accumulate.

• Whooping coughRelated: Pertussis disrupts cilia-mediated clearance, prolonging airway irritation.

• PlacozoaRelated: Cilia on the ventral surface help placozoans glide across substrates.

• EntoproctaRelated: Ciliary currents draw food particles toward the mouth and help move water through the tentacle crown.

• XenacoelomorphaRelated: Cilia on the body surface help many xenacoelomorphs glide across marine substrates.

• GastrotrichRelated: Ventral cilia propel gastrotrichs across sediment and other surfaces.

• LimnognathiaRelated: Ciliary fields help Limnognathia move and handle particles around its mouth.

• ProtistologyRelated: Ciliary motion is a common means of locomotion and feeding among protists.

• TurbellariaRelated: Cilia on the body surface help many small turbellarians glide over substrates.
