What's the difference between cilia and ciliated?

Cilia


Definition:

  • (n. pl.) The eyelashes.
  • (n. pl.) Small, generally microscopic, vibrating appendages lining certain organs, as the air passages of the higher animals, and in the lower animals often covering also the whole or a part of the exterior. They are also found on some vegetable organisms. In the Infusoria, and many larval forms, they are locomotive organs.
  • (n. pl.) Hairlike processes, commonly marginal and forming a fringe like the eyelash.
  • (n. pl.) Small, vibratory, swimming organs, somewhat resembling true cilia, as those of Ctenophora.

Ciliated


Definition:

  • (a.) Provided with, or surrounded by, cilia; as, a ciliate leaf; endowed with vibratory motion; as, the ciliated epithelium of the windpipe.
