name: 9+2 motile cilium
namespace: cellular_component
def: "A motile cilium where the axoneme has a ring of nine outer microtubule doublets plus two central microtubules (and is therefore called a 9+2 axoneme)." [GOC:cilia, PMID:22118931]
comment: This type of cilia may be present in solitary (so-called flagella, e.g. in sperm) or in multiple copies (so-called conventional motile cilia, e.g. in tracheal epithelium, ependyma or oviduct epithelium).
