cilium-dependent cell motility

^ http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_0060285


Cell motility due to the motion of one or more eukaryotic cilia. A eukaryotic cilium is a specialized organelle that consists of a filiform extrusion of the cell surface. Each cilium is bounded by an extrusion of the cytoplasmic (plasma) membrane, and contains a regular longitudinal array of microtubules, anchored basally in a centriole.

Synonyms: cilium cell motility, microtubule-based flagellar cell motility
