The arrangement of axonemal microtubules in cilia and flagellum is referred to as 9 + 2 array which essentially means that the axoneme has:
1. | nine doublets of radially arranged peripheral microtubules and two doublets of centrally located microtubules enclosed by a central sheath. |
2. | nine triplets of radially arranged peripheral microtubules and a pair of centrally located microtubules enclosed by a central sheath. |
3. | nine triplets of radially arranged peripheral microtubules and a centrally located protein hub not enclosed by a central sheath. |
4. | nine doublets of radially arranged peripheral microtubules and a pair of centrally located microtubules enclosed by a central sheath. |
