A

Achilles tendon (calcaneal tendon)

90
Q

What gender usually contract more UTI’s and why?

A

move mucus across the surface of cells

111
Q

What makes up cilia and what is their function?

A

Cilia is made up of microtubules and moves fluids or particles across the cell surface by beating them back and forth in a coordinated manner
