Name given to two quite different structures in Protozoa; in some Mastigophora it is a fin-like ridge across the surface of a cell, with the axoneme of a flagellum near its surface; in some ciliates it is a line of cilia that are fused at their bases, usually beating to force food particles toward the gullet.
