Numerous eukaryotic cells carry whip-like appendages (cilia or eukaryotic flagella) whose inner core consists of a cytoskeletal structure called the axoneme. The axoneme serves as the `skeleton` of these organelles, both giving support to the structure and, in some cases, causing it to bend. Though distinctions of function and/or length may be m.....
