Thus, the cilium exerts both positive and negative control over the Hh pathway.

- A hairlike projection from the surface of a cell; provides locomotion in free-swimming unicellular organisms
- Eyelash: any of the short curved hairs that grow from the edges of the eyelids
- A cilium (plural cilia) is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Cilia are slender protuberances that project from the much larger cell body.
- A hairlike organelle projecting from a eukaryotic cell (such as unicellular organism or one cell of a multicelled organism). These structures serve either for locomotion by moving or as sensors
- (Cilia) Microscopic hair-like projections from the surface of a cell capable of beating in a coordinated fashion.
- (cilia) Fine hairs along the edges of the wing.
- (Cilia) hair-like structures that line the airways in the lungs and help to clean out the airways.
- (Cilia) Little hairs in the airways of the lungs that help to move mucus out of the lungs.
- (Cilia) Plural for cilium, which is a hair-like structure that moves in a waving motion. Cilia are used for motility in some one-celled organisms and for moving particles or fluids in certain cells of more advanced organisms.
