Editing Cilium (section)

====Modified non-motile cilia====
[[Kinocilia]] that are found on hair cells in the inner ear are termed as specialized primary cilia, or modified non-motile cilia. They possess the 9+2 axoneme of the motile cilia but lack the inner dynein arms that give movement. They do move passively following the detection of sound, allowed by the outer dynein arms.<ref name="Wang">{{cite journal |last1=Wang |first1=D |last2=Zhou |first2=J |title=The Kinocilia of Cochlear Hair Cells: Structures, Functions, and Diseases. |journal=Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology |date=2021 |volume=9 |pages=715037 |doi=10.3389/fcell.2021.715037 |pmid=34422834|pmc=8374625 |doi-access=free }}</ref><ref name=Takeda>{{cite journal |last1=Takeda |first1=Sen |last2=Narita |first2=Keishi |title=Structure and function of vertebrate cilia, towards a new taxonomy |journal=Differentiation |date=February 2012 |volume=83 |issue=2 |pages=S4–S11 |doi=10.1016/j.diff.2011.11.002|pmid=22118931 }}</ref>
