Answer:
locomotion
Explanation:
Short eyelashes are cytoplasmic structures attached to the plasma membrane of cells, originating from the extension of the centrioles, made up of motor proteins (dyneins) forming a set of microtubules.
The function performed by the short eyelashes is basically locomotor, as in the protist and sperm unicellular organisms. However, short eyelashes are also present in respiratory tract tissues (in the trachea), where they perform defense function (retention and elimination of particles and microorganisms).
