Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cilia are hair-like structures present on the surface of some cells, particularly those lining the respiratory tract and the female reproductive system. They have a coordinated back-and-forth motion that helps to sweep particles along a particular path, such as moving mucus out of the respiratory tract or propelling eggs through the fallopian tubes.
