This is not written well for laymen. I can't even digest the first sentence. Maurreen 5 July 2005 04:57 (UTC)

I agree; what about: Most eukaryotic cells carry long apendages (cilia or eukaryotic flagella) whose inner core consits of a highly-conserved cytoskeletal structure called the axonem. --Benjamin.friedrich 13:22, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Changed the first sentence, maybe a native speaker volunteers to polish it. --Benjamin.friedrich 13:36, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Axonems everywhere

Shouldn't one state that axonemes are ubiquitous and have numerous functions: inside the flagellum they propel sperm cells, they transport mucus in the trachea, or carry receptors in receptor neurons within the nose and the eye. Even the kinocilium in the ear contains an axonem. --Benjamin.friedrich 13:22, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
