Their movements in the water usually last from two to three hours, then they abate, the cilia disappear, and the spore becomes immovable, takes a globose form, and covers itself with a membrane of cellulose.
The epithelium of the outer surface was probably ciliated, and a portion of it in the preoral lobe differentiated as a sense-organ, with longer cilia and underlying nerve-centre, from which two nerves ran back below the ventral surface.
When these are found the grooved proboscis folds its walls inwards, and the cilia pass the particles down the tube thus formed to the mouth.
Only thecilia which they possess, and which obviously merely serve as locomotive organs, are said to arise from the surrounding cytoplasm.

Whenever the cilia were drawn in, the three spines were thrown up; but they had an independent motion of their own, and every now and then were jerked suddenly and violently back, which occasioned a rapid change in the creature's position.
Then the stem gracefully elongates again, and the cilia repeat their lively game.
Some of the Vorticellids will be observed to leave their stalks, having developed cilia round their base, and may be seen to swim about in the enjoyment of individual life.
They are flat rounded-oblong creatures, with a distinct integument or skin, "through which numerous vibratile cilia pass in regular rows.
The first of these was a very small worm-like thing, with one eye, a tuft of cilia about the mouth, and two toes at the tail end.
The bells or cups are not, as might be fancied from a casual inspection, open like wineglasses at the top, but furnished with a retractile disk or cover, on which the cilia are arranged.
They should be examined by a moderately oblique light, or most of the cilia are apt to be rendered invisible, and also by dark ground illumination.
In addition to cilia they possess styles, which take the place of the limbs of more elaborately-constructed creatures, and give a variety to their means of locomotion.
As the cilia play, the neighbouring water is agitated, and the multitudes of small objects are brought by the whirlpools within her ravenous maw.
The cilia are not disposed, as at first appeared, in two separate and distinct disks, but are continuous, as in the annexed sketch.
When Soren came home late that autumn, Cilia thought he might fairly have a year ashore, as they had laid by a good deal, and could afford a rest.
Cilia gratefully accepted, and the pair went off accordingly to the capital, duly furnished with the requisite funds, which Cilia had drawn from the bank for the occasion.
Fortunately, Soren never heard a word of this, or it would have been ill both for Cilia and Abrahamsen, for he could not bear to hear a word in dispraise of his beloved ship.
Cilia found the suggestion excellent, and began hinting to Soren that he was suffering from sleeplessness and gout.
Cecilia was her proper name, but she was invariably calledCilia for short.
Cilia entirely agreed, and only wondered how it was she herself had never perceived it before; this, of course, was the reason they had had no suitable society.
Cilia had a desperately busy time unpacking all the things from Christiania, but, thanks to Lt.
The potato-planting was shelved for the time being, as were the various other little jobs Cilia had mentioned; her one idea now was that he should appear as a gentleman of leisure, which Soren was unfeignedly content to do.
Cilia had really half a mind to "leave out all that haughty lot," but if she did, where would the leaders of society be at all?
The proposal was received with acclamation, Cilia herself offering no objection, but declaring they might do what they pleased with the thing.
Scrape the roof of the mouth of the frog gently, to obtain ciliated epithelium; and mount in very weak salt solution-- the cilia will still be active.
These cilia or hairs guide the current which drives the various substances on which it feeds, such as the organic corpuscles of sea-weeds, and microscopic animalcules floating in the sea, towards its mouth.
The vibratilecilia are necessary to the renewed aeration of the water required as a respiratory fluid in the interior canals of the sponge.
Those which have cilia round their margins have also cellular bands running along their bases, and most of the projectile and extensile tentacula and filaments have sacs and canals containing fluids at their roots.
The branches of these arms have ambulacral grooves, comprehending a double row of fleshy tentacles, in the centre of which is the ambulacral groove, properly so called, clothed with vibratile cilia over their whole surface.

Vibratile cilia and stinging hairs often cover the entire surface of the Polyps.
Sponges contain true eggs, from which embryo polyps are produced; these have notcilia at first.
It either advances to seize the prey, which the movement of vibratile cilia have failed to draw within the vortex of its mouth, or, as in the case of the Paramecium, it is sometimes obliged to seek for its prey.
By this means the cilia are able to move small pieces of foreign matter, such as dust particles and bits of partly dried mucus, called phlegm, to places where they can be easily expelled from the lungs.
They line the mucous membrane in most of the air passages, and are so placed that the cilia project into the tubes.
Hence any foreign material will be raised from the throat first by the action of the cilia and then by coughing or "clearing the throat.
The cilia also send particles of food into a funnel-like opening, the gullet, on one side of the cell.
Illustration: Photograph of a living vorticella, showing the contractile stalk and the cilia around the mouth.
The stalk may be said to act like a muscle fiber, as its sole function seems to be movement; the cilia are located at one end of the cell and serve to create a current of water which will bring food particles to the mouth.
The cilia of these cells are constantly in motion, beating with a quick stroke toward the outer end of the tube, that is, toward the mouth.
In the corkscrew form, Spirillum volitans, each end of the body is produced into a minute hair-like process or cilium, and it is by the lashings of these cilia that the minute organism moves about.
These rhizopods suddenly drew in their hair-like cilia and sank to the bottom, to all appearances dead.
The rapidly vibrating cilia which surround the margin of the "bells" give rise to currents in the water which can be easily made out as they sweep floating particles toward the creatures' mouths and stomachs.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "cilia" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word. Other words: brow; cilia; flagellum; lash; vacuole
