Eukaryotic flagellum structure. Cutaway artwork showing the internal structure of the flagellum in eukaryotic cells. Flagella are tail-like projections used for cell locomotion (two at upper right protruding from a cell). The same structure is seen in motile cilia (but not in primary cilia). At lower right (cross-section),a plasma membrane (blue) surrounds a circle of nine microtubule doublets (green) and a central microtubule pair in an inner sheath (brown). Radial spokes (red),dynein arms (orange),and nexin (brown) hold the microtubules together. A basal structure (orange,lower left) forms the base of the flagellum | |
