真核鞭毛的示意图。 1-轴丝,2-细胞膜,3-IFT(鞭毛内运输(英语:Intraflagellar transport)),4-基体,5-鞭毛的横切面,6-基体的三微管。Longitudinal section through the flagella area in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. In the cell apex is the basal body that is the anchoring site for a flagellum. Basal bodies originate from and have a substructure similar to that of centrioles, with nine peripheral microtubule triplets (see structure at bottom center of image).
