Q
Definition
A
Motile processes with microtubules covered by plasmalemma
2
Q
Origin
A
Centrioles divide thousands to move to apex of cell to form basal body from which shaft grows

Axoneme or shaft
Rootlet
5
Q
Basal body
A
Formed of centrioles formed of 9 bundles of triplets formed of 27 microtubules
6
Q
Shaft or axoneme
A
Finger like projection of cytoplasm to outside covered by cell membrane
From each triplet microtubules a and b push to outside forming shaft which is formed of douplets of 9 bundles so formed of 18 mt and 2 singlets so total of 20 mt
7
Q
Rootlet
A
Microtubules c form each 9 bundles grows downwards into cytoplasm to fox basal body and shaft to cell and made of 9 microtubules
