Cilium

A single isolated cilium shown as a short, slender hair-like eukaryotic cellular projection emerging from the cell surface from a small slightly thicker rounded basal base or basal body. The shaft is smooth, membrane-covered, and cylindrical to slightly tapering, extending straight or with a gentle curve, and ending in a rounded to slightly tapered tip. Render it in a soft biological style with delicate pale gray, light blue, beige, or slightly translucent tones. A faint internal microtubule core may be subtly suggested as parallel lines running lengthwise within the shaft.
