Compartmentalized ciliogenesis is the most common type of
ciliogenesis
Ciliogenesis is defined as the building of the cell's antenna (primary cilia) or extracellular fluid mediation mechanism ( motile cilium). It includes the assembly and disassembly of the cilia during the cell cycle. Cilia are important organell ...
where the
cilium
The cilium, plural cilia (), is a membrane-bound organelle found on most types of eukaryotic cell, and certain microorganisms known as ciliates. Cilia are absent in bacteria and archaea. The cilium has the shape of a slender threadlike proje ...
axoneme
An axoneme, also called an axial filament is the microtubule-based cytoskeletal structure that forms the core of a cilium or flagellum. Cilia and flagella are found on many cells, organisms, and microorganisms, to provide motility. The axo ...
is formed separated from the cytoplasm by the ciliary membrane and a ciliary gate known as the transition zone.
