It is important for the maintenance of cell shape and motility. Microtubules are arranged in “9+2” pattern. There are two microtubules at the center and nine microtubule pairs at the periphery. At the periphery, microtubules are present in doublet. Cilia carry movement by alternative power and recovery strokes.
