Cilia [noun]

When the quantity is very small there may be no cough, the sputum reaching the larynx by action of the bronchial cilia.

The cilia also send particles of food into a funnel-like opening, the gullet, on one side of the cell.

The locomotion of the paramœcium is caused by the movement of these cilia, which lash the water like a multitude of tiny oars.

Cilia found the suggestion excellent, and began hinting to Soren that he was suffering from sleeplessness and gout.

Cilia had never seen such an arrangement before, and was rather inclined to leave it out.

Cilia could not help laughing, though she was inclined to consider it rather too much of a joke.

Cilia had really half a mind to "leave out all that haughty lot," but if she did, where would the leaders of society be at all?
