Question

What are -1) Kinocilia 2)Stereocilia

Answer 1

A kinocilium is a special type of cilium on the apex of hair cells located in the sensory epithelium of the vertebrate inner ear.

Stereocilia (or stereovilli) are non-motile apical modifications of the cell, which are distinct from cilia and microvilli, but closely related to the latter. In structure, they are longer than typical microvilli, and have more of the characteristics of the cellular membrane proper.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Cilia is of two types based on motility(motile or non motile)

1. Kinocilia

These are motile cilia.

They have9+2 organisation

2. Stereocilia

These are non motile cilia

These are the apical extensions of the cell

9+0 organisation is absent

Found in epididymis, vas deferens and inner ear
