MSH: Populations of thin, motile processes found covering the surface of ciliates (CILIOPHORA) or the free surface of the cells making up ciliated EPITHELIUM. Each cilium arises from a basic granule in the superficial layer of CYTOPLASM. The movement of cilia propels ciliates through the liquid in which they live. The movement of cilia on a ciliated epithelium serves to propel a surface layer of mucus or fluid. (King & Stansfield, A Dictionary of Genetics, 4th ed),CSP: populations of thin, motile processes found covering the surface of ciliates or the free surface of the cells making up ciliated epithelium; each cilium arises from a basic granule in the superficial layer of cytoplasm; the movement of cilia propels ciliates through the liquid in which they live, and the movement of cilia on a ciliated epithelium serves to propel a surface layer of mucus or fluid.,GO: A specialized eukaryotic organelle that consists of a filiform extrusion of the cell surface. Each cilium is bounded by an extrusion of the cytop
