The Bottom Of The Hair Follicle.....
a: Basal body ~
b: anchor of the cilium
What: "This is a picture of a cilium showing where the BBS proteins are. Most of them sit at the bottom of the cilia, at a place called the basal body. The basal body is like the anchor of the cilium, joining it to the cell. Many of the BBS proteins are involved in intraflagellar transport and so can be found along the cilium as well."

Huhhh????
a: Basal body ~
b: motor of the flagellum
What: "flagella, which consists of three basic parts: a filament, hook, and basal body. The filament is a hollow tube made up of helical chains of the protien flagellin. The hook is flexible and connects the filament and basal body. The hook rotates as protons either are pumped or diffuse from the cell. The basal body is like the motor of the flagellum."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
